Online Creative Writing Programme (Ages 9 to 11) – October 21

October 18, 2021, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

₹15,000

THIS BATCH IS FULL!

My next online creative writing programme for this age-group will be held in April 2022. 

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

  • Creative non-fiction – What is creative non-fiction? How do we create engaging blog posts, write travelogues and share information about places we find interesting?
  • Plays – Drama was a hugely successful module during the previous edition of my creative writing programme, so we will take this exploration further. We will read a play together, and look at how structure and technique come together to create exciting plays. 
  • Stories – Everyone loves stories, and honing the craft of story writing never ends. Through activities and exercises, we will work with genre, dialogue, plot and narrative voice.
