+
+        Creates a :class:`TextChannel` for the guild.
+
+        Note that you need the proper permissions to create the channel.
+
+        The ``overwrites`` parameter can be used to create a 'secret'
+        channel upon creation. This parameter expects a `dict` of
+        overwrites with the target (either a :class:`Member` or a :class:`Role`)
+        as the key and a :class:`PermissionOverwrite` as the value.
+
+        Examples
+        ----------
+
+        Creating a basic channel:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            channel = await guild.create_text_channel('cool-channel')
+
+        Creating a "secret" channel:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            overwrites = {
+                guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
+                guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
+            }
+
+            channel = await guild.create_text_channel('secret', overwrites=overwrites)
+
+        Parameters
+        -----------
+        name: str
+            The channel's name.
+        overwrites
+            A `dict` of target (either a role or a member) to
+            :class:`PermissionOverwrite` to apply upon creation of a channel.
+            Useful for creating secret channels.
+
+        Raises
+        -------
+        Forbidden
+            You do not have the proper permissions to create this channel.
+        HTTPException
+            Creating the channel failed.
+        InvalidArgument
+            The permission overwrite information is not in proper form.
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        :class:`TextChannel`
+            The channel that was just created.
