“I’ve written five poems. Will you read them?”

“I’ve written three stories. How can I get them published?”

“What is self-publishing?”

Age-group: 12-14 years

Start Date: 15th October 2020

End Date: 7th January 2021

Online Interactions will be held every Thursday from 4 pm to 5pm.

Fee: ₹15,000 per participant (payable via UPI to seshanvarsha@okhdfcbank or bank transfer. International payments may be made via PayPal to seshanvarsha@gmail.com)

Buddy fee: If two or more of you join together, the fee is ₹12,500 per participant.

The fee includes a minimum of 12 online video interactions (usually more), access to a private forum to share writing and individual feedback for each piece.

Do remember that I conduct this workshop because I love working with children on creative writing. And so, if children need more than 12 interactions, yes, I do conduct them within the three-month time frame. Sometimes, after a couple of weeks I realise that they need more of a push, more writing activities, so we move to two sessions a week instead of just one. I speak to the parents and we make it happen.

12 is the minimum – that’s what I commit to. But if we need more, we do more sessions. It’s as simple as that.
