Creative writing workshop on April 23

Wednesday April 06, 2016 , 3 min Read

It’s back. The third edition of YourStory Creative Writing Workshop will be held on April 23. If you missed attending the first and the second editions, here’s another opportunity to get professional help to unblock the writer’s block. This time, we've got theatre and poetry to get the creative juices flowing.

Pick the tools of storytelling from experts in the field, published authors and writers. The workshop will focus on different forms of storytelling. You could be an entrepreneur who wants to tell your story to investors as briefly and with impact as possible. You could be a student looking to apply to colleges abroad and need to tell your story in a long form essay. You could be a homemaker and want to start your own blog to share the treasure trove of stories you have accumulated about people around you. You could be a content writer in your company. Or you just want to become a published author. Whoever you are, you will agree that a good story scores above all else.

Our past participants have had their writing published in YourStory as well as other established media.
