### My story

We’re Bangalore Writers Workshop, but honestly, most of us just call it BWW. Started off in coffee shops, now we’re this wild bunch of accidental writers, poets, and storytellers. You walk in a stranger, maybe by mistake, and walk out with a tribe. We’ve had paav bhaji picnics, Cubbon Park graduations, and writing retreats that felt like family. It’s not just about the words – it’s about finding your people, cheering every win, and growing together. That’s why we do this.

### My work

- **Workshops & Courses**: We run creative writing workshops Bangalore folks love - short stories, poetry, play reading, translation, and special psychology-meets-writing courses.
- **Hands-on Workshop Model**: No boring lectures. We do critique, role-play, writing activities, and deep talks. Feels more like therapy sometimes.
- **Finish What You Start**: We help you stop being a serial first drafter. The group keeps you accountable till your story or poem is done.
- **Stories with Heart**: We push for openness and empathy, helping you build dynamic characters and work with soul.
- **Writing Community Support**: You’ll meet other writers, become a better reader, and maybe find your writing family.
