New York Writers Workshop is the teaching division of New York Writers Resources. We provide instruction in all forms of written expression, from the song to the sonnet, from the novel to the newspaper article. Working, published, professional writers conduct our workshops, consultations, conferences, and mentoring arrangements. We strive to help writers at all stages of their development to reach their full potential. http://www.newyorkwritersworkshop.com http://www.dfarley.com/restlesslegs.html Richard Goodman will give a reading on Wednesday, January 14th with The New York Times' Matt Gross, aka the Frugal Traveler, as part of the Restless Legs Reading Series.
