  This course was largely focused on critiquing your work and the work of the other students. Beth Ann Bauman was a really supportive, thoughtful teacher who gave insightful comments and helpful suggestions on how to improve your work and keep moving forward. I appreciated her help so much that I've now signed up for another one of her writing classes!

  I had (and continue to have) a great experience in this class. I'd done a fiction workshop through Gotham 5 years earlier, and found the WestSide Y's program to be much more intimate and engaging. I've now taken a second course with Beth Bauman, and have really enjoyed her style of running the workshop. She introduces the craft fundamentals of writing fiction through a combination of great short stories we read and analyze, compelling group discussions and fun writing exercises. And of course, the workshop portion of the class has been a great experience as well. My goals for getting into this were (a) to re-ignite my drive to write consistently (b) to gain a more thorough understanding of the craft itself and (c) just to be in a room with other writers. I absolutely got all of these things from the class and would recommend this course to anyone looking to start, to get back into, to sharpen their tools and to get inspired.
