10 Best Creative Writing Courses in India

• Written by: Ritika Tiwari
• Last updated on: January 22, 2023

Finding and enrolling in the best creative writing courses in India has been more difficult than I thought. At least it used to be, seven years ago when I had just dived into freelance writing. I wanted to hone my skills and practice fiction writing too, which is when I started looking for creative writing courses online. 

For a while, I even considered getting an MA in creative writing in India. But as many working professionals like me will agree — there is simply not enough time. 

I was initially more inclined towards classroom courses since those would help me get out of the house more (I work from home ) and they would also allow me to network with other writers. But most of the classroom courses I found were either not available in my city or were incredibly expensive. That is why I also started looking at free creative writing courses online.

In this article, I take you through all the top creative writing courses available both as classroom courses and online.

What is creative writing?

Creative writing is any writing where creativity is involved and differs from normal academic, professional, journalistic or technical forms of literature. This form of writing uses imagination and innovation in order to tell a story. It can involve fiction, essays, scripts and poetry. Professional writing courses give you the tools you need to ace creative writing.  

Though constant learning and practicing will improve your creative writing skills. Free online content writing courses with certificates help you reach your writing goals.

For a freelance writer, taking up a creative writing course online can help you hone your skills and also move more towards fiction writing. There are many brands who need storytelling writers and even poets. 

Why enroll in a creative writing course?

There are various learning benefits that you’ll get when you enroll in a creative writing course. Here are the major benefits of taking up an online English writing course as a freelance content writer :

• Find your own unique writer’s voice
• An experience of practical learning to gain the skills you need
• Master different writing styles and techniques
• Produce great fiction
• Understand and apply principles of creative writing in stories and poems

Small Correction : For IGNOU, Its page no 86 in the prospectus and not 80. Thank you for the information.

Thanks Kunal 🙂

I did the DCE from IGNOU in 2002. The notes are pretty basic. The project work gets you to write a lot and that’s a bonus. I wouldn’t mind doing it again if their syllabus has been updated.

I am actually thinking of taking up that course in the summer, will definitely update you when I do

Hey Ritika! Did you take up the course? What is your feedback on this??

No, I did not end up taking any of the above listed courses. I was thinking to take up IGNOU but I heard the curriculum wasn’t good. The only viable option is Symbiosis one but I am not sure if I am willing to put that much money in :/

Thanks for your reply Ritika! I too am on second thoughts about Symbiosis for the very same reason!!

Great compilation of courses with helpful and accurate descriptions! Thank you 🙂

Hi ritika Plz give ur feedback .I think u should hav completed it now

Hi Jasdeep, I am not doing these courses right now. Though I do recommend, checking out the eBook mentioned above

Interesting post! I have some experience of IGNOU, not in Creative Writing though, and that was like, a century ago and therefore out of date anyways, but my experience was positive all in all. Thanks for visiting my blog and see you after April! 🙂 Stay well.

Thanks for you inputs Nilanjana!

Now I am really inclined to do the IGNOU course. Lets see 🙂

Hi Ritika, Useful post! Elsewhere i could find review about the course at IGNOU, and it wasnt a promising one. The syllabus is outdated and for a year or two the course was not conducted and people who had registered were’nt intimated about updates. Since I am looking for a distance learning program, hence i am left with SCDL, Pune (as only IGNOU and SCDL have distance learning program on Creative Writing). I am looking for a review on its course. Kindly share if you have some review related info about the course. Thanks ! Taruna.

My research led me to the exact same place. IGNOU doesn’t seem worth it

Hi guys, I am pursuing a distance learning course from symbiosis pune on creative writing. It is good and has 6 exams and 6 projects to be completed in a year. It has been interesting and provides insights into creative writer’s lives and many other aspects of writing. It is expensive compared to other courses as mentioned here but I am working so this works for me.

That’s great to hear Rimpy! If it works for you and fits your schedule then there isn’t much you can ask for! Whenever you finish the course, do share your complete experience 🙂

Hi Rimpy , I m planning to pursue creative writing course in symbiosis .. please provide Info regarding modes n types of examination conducted. Its damn expensive so b4 joining wanna know wthr is it worthy .Thank you

I registered for DCE in June with IGNOU in July my classes are only going to start on October :P. They told me that I have to attend 1 class every month in study centre. I also registered with SDCL from there I get a message every day that admission is extended a week more :P. let’s see what will happen NB: I paid ignou fees it’s just 3k. Not having the courage to spend 22k on sdcl at least for now let’s see. will update you.

Yes, I was told the same thing about Study Centre,that I need to attend at least one in a month, which is really difficult for me, considering how much I travel.

Do let me know your experience with IGNOU. In fact, I would love it if you would write a post here on the website about the course experience because it will help A LOT of people 🙂

Hi niyas .Can u plz tell me some details how many study centre they hav and where they are? whats d total fee for 1 year course? howz dere teaching sense?wat technique dey use ?R dey providing good knowledge or jst time pass material.

Hey Ritika I want to improve my command on english writing, will these courses help.

These courses aren’t meant to improve your English, they are meant to improve your writing style

Hi Ritika Myself Manish Tiwari from Allahabad. I am working as Trainer. i am about to quit my job and i am going to shift Mumbai for writing. New differnt types of ideas comes in my mind and when i start to write then i feel i am missing something

Hi Ritika What i have to do to become a freelance writer.Is there any good center in Kerala or near by Bangalore to study creative English.is creative English course enough to improve writing style?

I don’t think writing starts by learning….for me mostly it’s an idea…a song….or just getting inspired after which everything falls into space

I have registered for DCE with IGNOU. I got a mail specifically informing me to collect study material from IGNOU regional center. I don’t know how this works. Have written a mail to send the materials to me directly. Will keep posted on what happens, so that other aspirants can take an informed decision.

Yes, that’s what I heard from some other sources. The thing with IGNOU is – they don’t really care. They have a way of doing things and they are not flexible. Please let me know how your course goes 🙂

Well, surprise! IGNOU has sent me all the course material through courier. However submitting projects is still unclear. Timeline of the course is a bit vague as well. However all course books are with me. Content looks pretty decent. For all the aspirants out there, I suggest you to go ahead with the diploma in Creative Writing if its impossible for you to attend workshops or classroom certificate courses.

Thanks for all the details Nahusha. Would you like to write a review about the IGNOU course about the website? 🙂

I too planning about pursuing this course. Will it be beneficial plz suggest.

hi Nahusha Can u plz tell me all d details for registration in DCE wid IGNOU . What is the fee structure there? how to pay? how they send us data? is there any exams or just assignments

Fee structure : 3300 Payment can be done by debit card. They will send all material by post. No exams. A project at the end of the course. Every info is available at their site.

I am looking up for an MFA in creative writing which I guess is not worth if done in India. But if you have any idea about the course which would be beneficial if done here itself, do let me know. Because Symbiosis has a distance program which is like, we are just playing in the sands, instead of going in the oceans for much adventure. And being a passionate writer, I also have my blog but the thing is I want to work for some magazines, if you have the answers to any of my above queries please mail me at [email redacted] else awaiting for your reply here itself.

Regards, Indrajeet

I would suggest going the internship way, instead of doing an MFA, if your end goal is to work in a magazine

he hi Rritika thanks for sharing such great info thanks a lot

Thank You Ma’am for all the infos. I m a college stud,I belong to Kolkata, I think it will be useful for me to join British Council rather than any open university am I right? Is a PG degree in Journalism is essential for a freelance writer?

You don’t need a journalism degree to be a freelance writer. Yes, British Council is a great option if you are in Kolkata, just make sure the class timings suit you 🙂

Hi, Ritika Mam, I am from Mumbai and my passion is to Write Stories & Poems in Marathi Language, and i want your advice that from where should i got a proper guidance to grew up in this concern field. Thank You.

British Council , Delhi does have creative writing during the weekends too

Have they started the weekend classes? Can you give me their official link to this so that I can update the article to help others?

I have tried the IGNOU course. The course material is totally outdated. The teaching at the study centre also is not up-to the mark. Dies anyone know about the symbiosis course?

I have done one course from Symbiosis (SCDL), syllabus is really updated but it didn’t helped me out as I found myself without guidance. I will rather suggest opt for the course where classes are held at least you can have a coach to guide you further.

Very very useful info. Thank you so much!

Since it’s not possible for me to read and learn I need a institute which provides such courses. Can you recommend ?

Do we have fellowship programme for Creative writing in india.

Hi Ritika, Mrinali here from Delhi. I loved your article and want to thank you for it. I am a blogger on social issues, which are covered by social media very weirdly, un-researched manner. With an intention to reorient the coverage, I started a blog site THE YOUNG EAGLE. Please find time to visit my site on FB.

How is IIM SKILLS Courses in Content Writing?

Thank you for such an informative post. I am an aspiring author from LA. Since any kind of education in US is quite expensive I opted for distance learning in India. Admissions are possible for International Students at IGNOU, although the fee varies. I have emailed them about registration process for international students. Having said that my goal is MFA is English, as I like to pursue Creative Writing Diploma at a more modern institute with up-to date techniques in writing. I have taken your advise and enrolled in the course offered by the Michigan state University. Having deprived o the opportunity to choose a field of my liking during college, I like to pursue a cheap yet decent MFA degree. Do you have any suggestions about the Masters degree in English from IGNOU? I have no clue about the curriculum offered. To me all looks good as long as its literature. However, I am not sure if its contemporary. Please advise.

Hey Ritika, How you doing? Well, hope you’re in the best of health at these times. I wanted to ask, if you can help me with this… , that is the Wesleyan University course available for a 15- year – old aspiring writer?

Top 8 Prestigious Creative Writing Courses in India

The creation of words in such a way that can carry your true emotions into words comes under creative writing. creative writing is the art of crafting words in a glamorous format for reaching out to people’s hearts. many use this art of writing as a powerful tool to disseminate their wisdom. some also ventilate their undigested grudges of the past through this art of writing. this unique style of writing builds a deep connection between the reader and the writer’s emotions, once the reader dives into reading. .

What is Creative Writing ?

Imagining basic ideas and expressively putting them through a specific art of writing is classified as creative writing. It is one of the most dominant ways of writing for building up a deep connection with readers because, in this writing, the emotion of a writer touches upon the heart of the reader through words. Once the reader comes in a grip of emotion, he rejoices in the sublime art of writing.

It falls apart from other types of writing because of the least rules and formats. A writer can draft his words to project his art in any style. A writer is free to use his imaginary vision for a precise narration of his content. In this style of writing, metaphor, simile, and rhyme are commonly used to make all readers fully conversant with the writer’s vision and it leaves a deep impression on the reader.

It is written to express the literature and methodology of ancient times. It also helps the reader to visualize a vivid picture of content effortlessly. It aims to get connected with readers fundamentally. Creativity is a key element for this sort of writing wherein every bit of information is passed to the reader in form of a unique style.

Types of Creative Writing

Creative writing covers a vast area of writing to convert a writer’s voice into the form of the word. It is written to project all sorts of fiction and some non-fiction content which immensely helps a writer to produce his creative content. 

Let’s know Some Forms of Creative Writing :

(a) Poem – All poets bring attention to their readers through their creative writing. In the creation of any poem, creative writing plays a pivotal role. Poems are purely symbols of art and creative words.

(b) Movie – A scriptwriter adds value to the movie by contributing his creativity in the form of words. There, the art of writing plays a lead role in the success of a movie.

(c) Plays – Demonstration of play is a lucrative method of entertainment in which the character disseminates the moral of the play by his voice. Here, only creative content adds weight to play. 

(d) Fiction – It entails all sorts of novels, short stories, novellas , etc. Fiction writing cannot glamour its value without creativity. Writing a novel, short or long story requires creativity to get the constant attention of readers. 

(e) Speech – A speech can touch upon the audience’s hearts if it carries the emotion of an orator in voice. Creative writing assimilates all emotions in it.

(f) Songs – Each song contains creative lyrics. Lyrics may lose their grip on people if it is written factual. Hence, in song, this writing plays a significant role.

(g) Personal Essay – The essence of the essay is represented through creative content. In all personal essays, this writing heightens its content value. 

How Can One Develop This Key Skill of Writing?

Writing about any creative topic demands versed skills in a writer. Although, creative writing is an art but can be honed by consistent practice and guidance. A true aspirant of this writing can develop it by taking any creative writing course and daily writing habits. Certain techniques can help immensely to develop this art gradually. Although, various online and offline Creative Writing Courses in India are available to cultivate this unique art of writing.

Let’s Learn How to Start Writing Creatively: 

(a) Read a Lot – A versed writer first becomes a voracious reader before attempting to write anything. Reading a range of books based on interest teaches us a basic frame of writing. Consistent reading habits can help us in absorbing the fine content of a book. A reader can perceive the demand of a reader. In addition to that, a reader can reap useful vocab and phrases from good books and can use them in his writing. Reading also encourages a writer to write about a learned lesson.

(b) Find Your Niche – To write about your interest always remains everyone’s cup of tea. One must figure out his sphere of interest before an attempt to write. Once one reads and writes his imagination in a particular area of interest, he starts honing this art of writing. Niche makes a writer’s mind concentrate on one sort of writing and he evolves his writing gradually. 

(c) Seize All Chances of Writing – We should never skip any single chance of writing whatsoever that comes in our way. Writing on daily basis will inculcate our habit of writing and gradually the habit of writing leads us to excel in our niche. We can keep a daily journal or handy notes, and notepad apps on the phone for cultivating writing habits. 

(d) Find Out Your Audience and Their Area of Interest – Writing in our niche is one best idea one should keep in mind. But we must also identify what our audience demand from us. First of all, there should be a vivid picture of our audience then we should try to fulfill their need through writing.  

(e) Add Literary Content in Writing – Creative writing paints our picture of imagination in the form of words. To make a vivid picture of it, we should incorporate the usage of metaphor, rhyme, and similes in our writing to make it more lucrative and insightful.

(f) Have a Deep Understanding of the Subject – Before attempting to write creatively, we must imbibe knowledge about the subject. We can grasp enough knowledge of a subject by doing enough search on the internet and reading related books. We can enlarge a broad picture of a subject if we carry out thorough research about it. Knowledge also boosts our confidence level and primes our minds to create easy content about the subject

(g) Depicts a Story of Your Subject – Story is easy to consume by a reader and once the reader lands his attention on our story, we can take him into the depth of our subject. Hence, the articulation of a good story in our writing can work as a tool for us. It bridges the heart of the writer and reader. Moreover, the story gives us a space to put our imagination into the story.

(h) Don’t Pause Your Flow of Writing – Our thoughts come out as a stream of the river. If we try to hold it, it does not get direction. Similarly, our imagination for a subject comes like flow and we should keep writing without any interruption. Let it flow and then reshape it as per the audience’s understanding. Our flow while writing helps us to put all the pieces of content.

(i) Use Emotion in Writing as an Adulterant – Writing creatively is not rule-based writing. Our content is driven by our rigid or soft emotions. If we subtract those emotions from writing then it will be an empty post of characters. So, in this writing, we should cater to our emotions while crafting words for the subject. Non-verbal communication is not interpreted by simple words then there is a need for the expression of emotion through creative writing. This writing demands emotion for deep explanations.

The Benefit of Creative Writing

Creative writing has gained widespread popularity in the writing industry because it has been working as a powerful tool for writers to take them one step more advanced than any other mode of writing. The information entailed in this writing goes hand in hand with the reader because the writer does not write his knowledge in it but also shares his emotion in the form of words. 

Let’s Count the Benefits of Creative Writing:

(a) Elevate Your Mental Flexibility – Everybody is overwhelmed by the stimulation of emotions. In a study , it was highlighted that a person who exercises this writing expresses his emotions organically. A creative mindset always perceives opponents’ empathy and responds according to them which also helps a creative writer profoundly in writing.

(b) Build Your Vocabulary Bank – Writing creatively needs a range of vocabulary and phrases to express emotions and solutions. Practicing this writing will grow your vocabulary stock which directly strengthens your writing skills. Writing begins with a single word and ends with a conclusion. 

In this process of writing, a creative writer also emphasizes words to generate new imagination and again shapes that imagination into words. In doing so, a writer goes through many words and learns to use a single word in different ways.

(c) Spike Your Confidence Level – It engages a writer to write about imaginary things wherein a writer finds an asymmetric problem and attempts to find a solution for the same. And the writer feels appreciated after getting answers for imagination. It directly hits on the dopamine loop of a writer and makes him confident about any real problem. Writing gives a push to our confidence because a writer makes himself proud of new things. A generation brings a proud moment in every generator’s life.

(d) Writing Hones Your Communication Skills – Writing hones your communication skills because we get in touch with others’ perspectives while crafting words in this writing. If we can build up the quality to read the mind of our audience then we can deliver our ideas smoothly.

In this writing, the writer touches upon his audience’s aspect and tries to cater to everything. No matter how good content we have in our minds and how much we know about something because your projection of content makes you apart from others. Likewise, in this art of writing, a writer develops this art of projection through imagination and practice.

(e) Become a Creative Author and Inventor – This writing offers you tremendous opportunities to become an author. A creative author holds expertise in this writing. In addition, he can coin new words and phrases and can become the inventor of buzzwords. Nowadays, It has been observed that people are inclined towards creativity and love to do it.

This inclination is rising the demand for creative writers in the market and the art of creativity is making a distinguished profile.  All Vedic literature, scripture, epic, and methodology are subjects of great wisdom and cannot be learned by normal text. To visualize the essence of these scriptures, epic and literature are essential to be interpreted through creative language. Hence, there is a requirement for a creative writer.

(f) Writing on Creativity Makes You a Multitasker – Writing about any creative topic fuels your multi-task ability. In one study, it is found that children catch many creative ideas when they are told to write something creative about themselves. 

(g) Writing Creatively Equals Meditation – Writing is not merely an action but a reaction to our inner communication. It is the result of our flow of emotions. When a writer pens down something arbitrary then he begins to get down word his thoughts by the ladder of writing. In this process, he releases the clutter of the mind and gets rest. Some writers also ventilate their toxic thoughts with words and recharge themselves. Therefore, writing is equivalent to mediation.

7 free online creative writing courses that you can enrol in right now

As a form of expression , a means to escape the reality, and a medium to communicate a larger ideology, the act of writing can serve different purposes. And no matter what your reason to put pen to paper, or keys to screen, these virtual lessons could help you develop the techniques you will require on your creative journey. Here, find out all the free online courses you can join to begin now.

Creative Writing Specialisation

Covering three major creative writing genres—short story, narrative essay and memoir—the course will help you master the techniques of putting your ideas on paper as clearly as possible. So if you’ve been meaning to work some engrossing features in your already existing plot, or better highlight the setting of your story, or simply articulate in a stronger fashion, let this lesson be on your shortlist. In case you’re just starting out, the course is equally rewarding.

Write Your First Novel

Have you been wanting to pen down your thoughts and weave them into a well-written novel? Go for this virtual course where you will learn an end-to-end approach to producing a work of fiction. Through a stepwise process that will culminate in your individual production of a 50,000-word book, the learning course will provide you all the important pointers right from the top.

Writing for Young Readers: Opening the Treasure Chest

Complete with video lectures, online readings, peer reviews and guest appearances from renowned authors, the course will offer an all-inclusive guide to creative writing for students and young aspirers. Apart from that, you will also explore the cultural significance of notable works , analyse the ways in which art and words interact, and become familiar with standard elements of a narrative, that include dialogue, point of view, theme, plot and so on.  

Write A Feature Length Screenplay for Film or Television

Whether your point of interest is serious dramas, romantic comedies or thrillers , the free virtual course will zoom in on every aspect of screenplay writing so you’re able to pursue the genre you want. Following in a well-structured process, you will have produced a pitch-ready script by the time the four-week programme is over. Along with learning how to create a basic idea and write loglines, you will be studying the Three Act Story Arc, and much more.

Memoir and Personal Essay: Write About Yourself Specialisation

Here, four published memoirists and essayists let you in on the tricks and tools of writing about yourself. Be prepared for professional tips, prompts, reading challenges and exercises among other interactive activities. Unlike many other courses where you will be producing a large body of work at the completion of the programme, here, you will be constructing a portfolio of work to use as valuable components later.

Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop

These lessons support the school of thought that poetry isn’t just a means of expression. Rather, using it for just that, is like “using the internet just for email”. If you too are willing to think beyond that, and take up the art to bring about a change in people’s thought and ideologies, the course is for you. Learn to use the several tools of poetic composition, study the works of contemporary poets and, of course, try your own hand at the skill.

Transmedia Storytelling: Narrative worlds, emerging technologies, and global audiences

In a world that believes in not just up-skilling, but also cross-skilling, this transmedia course serves to be an extremely well-rounded one. The description on the website states, “Transmedia storytelling is the practice of designing , sharing, and participating in a cohesive story experience across multiple traditional and digital delivery platforms - for entertainment, advertising and marketing, or social change.” So learn to develop expansive narratives and optimise your writing for mobile devices, social media communities, virtual and augmented realities and more.

Course overview

Writing is a solo act, but it is a different experience when you connect with fellow writers.

When we started our Creative Writing Short Term Course in Delhi at the Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts and Communication nearly eight years ago, we had not imagined the response it would attract. It has been overwhelming. At the beginning of 2019, we had started our 26th course. We joyfully saw how numerous participants used the course as a jumping point to start a new writing journey. Some got into professional writing, some became authors, some took up jobs as content writers, copywriters or editors and some enjoyed different forms of blogging.

Course Overview

Creative Writing is one of the most fulfilling ways to express oneself!

So, we started this unique course with the intention of helping participants sharpen their writing skills. After all, within all of us, there is a writer struggling to get out. We all have stories to narrate. All that we need is to learn how to become interesting storytellers narrating it in a written form using various tools and techniques.

Yes, writing can be taught! We experience it every week in our classes!

Every batch has been unique and colourful. It has hardly surprised us as they come from varied backgrounds. It is probably the sole reason for this course being successful. The classroom and the workshops get electrified with their wide range of styles and ideas. Every class witnesses how each one of them beats ideas into shape in the most amazing ways. Often, they get surprised by their work. It is such a joy to see participants get better week after week.

Our course has seen a diversity of professionals hone their craft; starting with doctors, engineers, software developers, professionals, bureaucrats, pilots, businessmen, management consultants, accountants, publishing house editors, fashion designers, homemakers, teachers, journalists, lawyers, activists, to even grandmothers, undergraduates, You Tubers and students. We also had a deputy commissioner of police! All of them displayed a burst of creative talent. As the weeks flowed by, there was an amazing growth in their skills and confidence. This is precisely what motivates us to do more, fine tune the course and get in well-known faculty who love teaching creative writing as they have experienced the joy of being published. Writing is the most potent and yet the simplest form of human expression. Unlike speech, writing transcends the barriers of space and time. Mastering a skill like writing is something that will help you all your life as you will be comfortable with the written word. It gives you an inexplicable sense of fulfillment.

Our course can open a new world for you or for anyone else you know who is looking for such an opportunity. The craft of writing has multiple dimensions: prose, poetry, novels, short stories, flash fiction, non-fiction books, screenwriting, plays, journalistic articles, travelogues and experimental pieces.

This course will help you give vent to your creative urges. Writing is a skill that can help you in your daily life. It can take you to a different creative level. It helps you think and communicate better. Our creative writing workshops will let you explore and discover yourself.

Top writing courses in India

• November 11, 2019
• 10 Comments

We offer writing courses but people often ask us what else is out there? Are there courses in other places? Or in their hometowns? Not everyone can travel. And some people don’t like driving in mountains.

Dear poet/writer, we’d love to know you better. What are you writing?

In prose, you prefer…

To stay informed about articles related to fiction writing, would you like to get emails from us? And we’re happy to throw in two free courses , too We don’t spam and you can unsubscribe any time.

To stay informed about articles related to prose and poetry writing, would you like to get emails from us? And we’re happy to throw in two free courses , too We don’t spam and you can unsubscribe any time.

To stay informed about articles related to non-fiction writing, would you like to get emails from us? And we’re happy to throw in two free courses , too We don’t spam and you can unsubscribe any time.

So we went hunting and put together a list. We found a surprising number in Bangalore. Further, we could get first-hand feedback on only a few, we can’t say if they’re all good or not. Here are the writing courses we found in India. The list is in alphabetical order

1.     Anita’s Attic

Anita Nair, author together with Penguin Random House India hosts this writing and mentorship programme.  While you get to explore different genres of writing from novels, children’s writing, poetry, short stories, and so on, you also identify your key competencies and skill areas.

Website : https://anitasattic.com/about/

Our Take: Credentials are impressive, but the course is pricey. In our experience they are somewhat slow to respond.

Radical thought : Writing courses cost money. Ironically, you can also get paid to write. If you think you’re already a decent writer, and want to earn while you learn writing, check out our blog on seven ways to earn money through writing.

4.     British Council 

The British Council is a well-known institute for teaching English language. Until recently they had creative writing course that took you through fiction, poetry, short stories and screenplays to travel writing, feature article writing and news reports.

7.     Himalayan Writing Retreat 

This is my favourite, as I’ve been fortunate to experience and enjoy it. The Himalayan Writing Retreat (HWR) is the only residential facility dedicated to writing in Asia. The HWR runs a busy calender of events throughout the year which attracts teachers and students from all over the world.

The retreat is an orchard on a ridge with brilliant dawns, dusks and views of the big white peaks. Located in Nainital District, the retreat was set up in 2016 by two published authors – Chetan Mahajan & Dr. Vandita Dubey. Vandita is a US trained clinical psychologist and published author who works in the area of mental health and wellbeing. Chetan is a Penguin published author and writing coach. He also writes an award-winning blog about leaving city life for a Himalayan village.  ( http://www.uncity.blog/ ).

Courses :  Dr . Vandita Dubey conducts a “Himalayan Happiness Project” a workshop on emotional well-being. This workshop uses writing as a tool for reflection and growth.

There are Master Classes with distinguished authors . The Himalayan Blogging Workshop is led by Sumit Bansal, a master blogger and a fabulous teacher.

The Himalayan Writing Bootcamp (which I attended back in 2017), is their most popular workshop led by Chetan Mahajan. The workshop will help you build your story idea and learn the importance of tight editing. You will learn the nuts and bolts of translating ideas into a book. The workshop also takes a deep dive into the world of publishing. Chetan has a strong understanding of the space, and you can read his blog about Self Publishing Vs Traditional Publishing here . Here you find that working hard is easy when you are treated to generous doses of humour and a non-stop supply of chai . Classes move from inside to the outdoors depending on the weather and the views. Evenings end with walks in the mountains and powwows around the bonfire. And the loudest sound is birdsong.

With a maximum group size of 10 you get one on one feedback and support. I left the place with a heightened understanding of the writing process and a motivation to write regularly. The encouragement of a circle of writing friends – whom I met there and continue to be in touch with – certainly helped. One of our fellow participants, Kamalini Natesan, has recently published her book “Naked Beneath the Midnight Sun”.

Several authors have been able to complete and publish their books post the boot camp. Details about the authors and their books are available at  https://www.himalayanwritingretreat.com/books-by-hwr-participants/ .

Nature of Courses : Residential

Cost : Course fees range from Rs. 28000-46000  which includes four nights stay on a twin-sharing basis, all food, sessions and taxes . (HWR also hosts Retreats which are different from workshops. These retreats are 10 days long and are priced at USD 2800).

The stay is twin-shared. Single occupancy is possible at a cost of Rs. 8000 but is subject to availability.

Place: Village Satkhol, District Nainital, Uttarakhand

Eligibility: Some events are free sign-on. For others, fill in the application form, send a writing sample in English or a translated piece of work and you are good to go.

Website : https://www.himalayanwritingretreat.com/

Our Take: “Self Praise is no Praise at all” Lord Byron said. And HWR participants said stuff you can read on Google and Facebook .

The interdisciplinary major in English and Creative Writing combines the joys of reading literature with the practice of writing it. It seeks to produce a rich and full literary experience where critical thinking and creative writing complement each other. Students in this major will emerge as writers and thinkers through an intellectual approach to literary texts and traditions from various historical periods and global spaces alongside rigorous practice in writing in one or more literary genres.

Curriculum Structure and Credit Requirements

To complete an interdisciplinary major in English and Creative Writing, a student must do 11 English courses and 5 Creative Writing courses. The course break-up is as follows:
