Richa S Mukherjee

I've been pleasantly surprised by the response to this workshop. It seems there are far more people carrying stories in their heads than we realise. Some want to write a novel. Some have memories they want to preserve. Some simply want to discover whether they can write. If you've been telling yourself "one day", perhaps this is the time to begin. Creative Writing for Beginners is a gentle, practical introduction to storytelling designed for complete beginners and anyone curious about the writing process. 27 & 28 June (Saturday & Sunday) 11 am to 12 noon Online (Live) Fee: Rs 2,000 Seats are intentionally limited to keep the workshop interactive, and registrations are filling up quickly.

Two Writing Workshops This April If writing has been calling to you lately, these two thoughtfully designed workshops offer very different but equally meaningful entry points into the craft. Whether you want to gently return to writing during a difficult season or sharpen your storytelling skills, there is a space here for you. 1. Writing Through Tough Times There are seasons when writing feels impossible. Life gathers weight. Caregiving. Illness. Emotional exhaustion. Professional upheaval. You are living through so much that even though material is everywhere, the act of writing feels distant. And yet, this is often when writing matters the most. Writing Through Tough Times is a gentle two-day workshop for writers navigating difficult seasons. This is not about productivity or pushing through. It is about building a compassionate writing rhythm you can return to even on hard days.
