Online Creative Writing Programme (Ages 9 to 11) – April 2021

May 24, 2021, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

₹15,000

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS BATCH!

My online creative writing programmes are conducted just twice a year – in April and in October. Each course is 12 weeks long and comprises twelve online interactions and access to a private, secure forum, where participants share work and provide feedback to one another. In this sense, it is an intensive programme that requires participants to log in at least four times a week, write regularly and participate actively on the forum. In addition to weekly assignments, participants are encouraged to share relevant ideas and opinions at each stage.

If I have a minimum of four participants for each batch, I also organize guest sessions, which are open to non-participants on payment of a registration fee, but free for those who are part of my programmes. Take a look at the three guest sessions I organized during the previous edition of the creative writing programme:

Outline

  • Experiments with poetry – While we will begin with rhyming verse, we will move on to exploring different kinds of poetry, working with form, content and structure
  • Plays – Working with drama is a wonderful way to start working on crisp dialogue and clear setting. We will read a play and look at the creation of characters and dialogue
  • Stories – The best way to write a good story is to write many stories! We will work with technique, structure, dialogue and plotting as we explore different genres of writing.

Earlier Editions

I launched my online creative writing programme in October 2020 and received a wonderful response. Take a look at what some of the children said when they reflected on the programme!
