My Year in Workshops: 2023
Writing sessions from the car. Book club sessions from a misal shop on the highway. Guest sessions in my dance class hall. 2023 was a year when I seemed to […]
Gobi Goes Viral
Gobi Goes Viral by Vibha Batra is funny, heart-warming, and altogether believable. We’ve read and loved Kolam Kanna and Pinkoo Shergill at my book club, and I’m happy to introduce yet another […]
The Very Glum Life of Tootoolu Toop
We’ve read The Very Glum Life of Tootoolu Toop before and I can’t wait to read it again! I know it’s longer than the books I usually choose, plus every batch […]
The Canary Caper
It’s been 25 years since The Canary Caper was published, and it’s still such a joy to read! We read the first of the A to Z Mysteries, The Absent Author, in April […]
An Alien in the Jam Factory
An Alien in the Jam Factory is such a fun read! A book that celebrates ideas is the best kind of book to read with children. The very first page is […]
Trunk Call for Ajju
Even when I read and reviewed Trunk Call for Ajju in June 2023, I knew it would be one of my book club reads soon enough. A book about children and […]
The Diary as Story
In just a few weeks, yet another writing programme will come to an end! Yesterday was the third and last guest session of the season–a creative writing workshop with children’s […]
How to Tell a Story through a Diary
Playing with form is always fun! There are so many ways to tell a story–as a graphic novel (which was the topic of our previous workshop), in verse (like Uncontrollable), or as a set of letters, either in a diary or to a friend. I love epistolary novels, but writing a story in the form of letters is something I haven’t really dealt with at my writing programmes.
That’s why I decided to invite Sowmya Rajendran, author of the Mayil series to do a creative writing workshop with us on telling stories through a diary. How do we use diary entries to tell a story? There is a method to the randomness!
Stories: Comic-Page Style
What a rewarding session we had with Nandita Basu! At workshops like this one, I think I learn as much as the young writers who sign up. Step by step, […]
Stories: Comic-Page Style
We’ve done a workshop on comics before, but it’s time for something new, this time with author Nandita Basu. Nandita is an award winning graphic novelist and a musician. She has written three graphic novels for young adults: The Piano, Rain Must Fall and the soon to be released Starry Starry Night.
Graphic novels are gaining popularity amongst young readers, and naturally, young writers. While writing a graphic novel is, of course, beyond the scope of a one-hour workshop, let’s learn how to weave a story through words and pictures in the style of a graphic novel.
Green Stuff and Nonsense
What a fun session we had on green writing with Bijal Vachharajani! In a single hour, we spoke of a million creatures from elephants to frogs, ferrets to spiders, lion-tailed […]
