Writing Nonfiction

October 15, 2021 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Writing nonfiction usually involves a certain amount of research, whether we’re writing book reviews or travelogues. Does research have to be daunting and dull? What kind of research is required when we create brochures or photo essays? What do we need to do to prepare for an interview?
As this is a guest session at my writing programme, participants who are part of my current batches will be part of it at no additional cost. However, this session is also open to non-participants on payment of a fee.

Illustration Workshop: The ART of Stories

June 2, 2021 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Tanvi Bhat is a children’s book illustrator and author who has created books for publishers like Pratham Books, Duckbill and Tulika Books, to name a few. She likes working with watercolours and gouache when making pictures, and scribbling on scraps of paper that she’s constantly losing when she writes.
With her, participants will learn to look at illustration through the lens of storytelling. The visuals often weave a story of their own – how do they do that? Planning, pagination, characters and background design are important. How can we bring them into the illustration process?

First Guest Session – Writing about Cyber Crime

April 10, 2021 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Detective stories are thrilling. Whether you read Secret Seven and Five Find-Outers and Dog or Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, a story about an investigator solving a crime is always gripping. What about in the 21st century? What other kinds of detective stories can we write?

These were the questions I had in mind when I invited Shweta to come talk to us. Among other things, she will discuss:

What is a cyber investigator?
How do I write a story about a cyber detective?
What do we mean by digital forensics?
