Do Any of these apply to YOU?

I want my words to matter, to inspire, to challenge, to make readers feel something real.

I’ve written a few things, but I’m looking for guidance, feedback, and a real shot at being hear.

I have a story to tell, but I don’t know if I’m good enough or where to even begin.

If you nodding your head right now, we’ve got just the program for you! Keep Scrolling to know details!

A writing workshop is not just about learning words, it’s about discovering your voice, shaping your stories, and realising that your imagination has the power to move the world.

What is the Creative Writing Workshop

A Space to Learn and Practice Writing

A creative writing workshop is a structured program where young writers explore storytelling, narrative techniques, character building, and persuasive writing. Through guided exercises and discussions, participants strengthen their writing skills, learn to read like a writer, and discover how to give shape to their imagination.

A Platform to Share and Grow Together

It’s also a collaborative environment where students share their work, receive constructive feedback, and polish their drafts. By engaging in peer reviews and learning editing techniques, they prepare their writing for publication and build confidence in their unique voice.

Meet Your
Program Director

We’re delighted to welcome Anushka Ravishankar as one of our Program Directors for this writing workshop!

Anushka studied mathematics at Fergusson College and went on to earn a post-graduate degree in operations research. She began her career in IT, but turned to writing after the birth of her daughter drawing inspiration from authors like Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Her writing journey began with contributions to Tinkle magazine, and she later became an editor at Tara Books, where she wrote Tiger on a Tree a breakout success internationally. She went on to as Publishing Director at Scholastic India and co-founded Duckbill in 2012, later acquired by Penguin Random House India. Often called the Indian Dr. Seuss, Anushka is known for her brilliant nonsense verse and playful storytelling that blends humor, structure, and heart. Her work ranges from uniquely Indian tales to stories with wide, cross-cultural appeal, often created in collaboration with illustrators from around the world. We’re thrilled to learn from her unique voice and creative journey!

We’re delighted to welcome Sayoni Basu as one of our Program Directors for this writing workshop!

Educated in Kolkata and at Oxford, Sayoni began her publishing career at Oxford University Press and later worked at its Delhi branch and at Penguin India. In 2001, she moved into children’s publishing with Puffin, driven by her love for Bengali and international children’s books and her curiosity about the lack of engaging English-language books for young readers in India.

She went on to serve as Publishing Director at Scholastic India and Amar Chitra Katha, and in 2012, co-founded the acclaimed publishing house Duckbill with award-winning author Anushka Ravishankar. With decades of experience and a passion for bold, fresh storytelling, Sayoni brings deep insight into the evolving world of children’s publishing

and we can’t wait to learn from her!
