I just moved to New York last week which, naturally, was a pretty big decision for me. I’ve been to the city a few times before, so I knew what I was getting myself into. Just in case you haven’t (or if you don’t get why anyone would choose to live in the city dubbed the “concrete jungle”), I thought I’d share some of my reasons for moving here and why I think every writer should consider spending some time in the Big Apple. Here who go.

Since this is my first post, I thought it’d be nice to share a bit about myself. I’m a fiction writer living in New York City, where I’m currently pursuing my MFA in Creative Writing at Columbia University.
