Stories of Space Robots and Rockets

November 21, 2020 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself thinking – an online writing programme is not a lit fest. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to invite people who would be able to do something entirely new? What could I do to bring in a new kind of story?

And here was my answer:

How can I make my science fiction story believable?
Do we need more stories about women in science?

Fee₹400 per head (UPI: seshanvarsha@okhdfcbank or bank transfer – please contact me for my bank details; my number is in the poster)
Age-group 9-13
Date 5th December 2020
Time 10 am to 11 am IST
