Join NYIC for the first in a series of creative writing workshops with published authors as students embark on a day-long writing journey.

Today, our creative writing workshop is led by writer Sadhbh Walshe. She will lead an intimate group of writers in a creative workshop with a focus on the themes (immigration, family, assimilation, etc.) of the novel The Namesake.
