Advanced Character Psychology Workshop
Ready to stop writing flat characters? Join our 5-week deep dive where we blend creative writing with clinical psychology, exclusively for BWW alumni.
Hear directly from our writer, Rahul, about how the workshop didn't just improve his character writing but also gave him a deeper understanding of himself and others. This is the kind of transformation we aim for.
Anjini shares her excitement about gaining the psychological tools to understand why some stories work and others don't. This course gives you the language and insight to articulate and improve your creative writing craft.
Here is our guest facilitator, psychotherapist Kalpana Tanwar, leading an intense and rewarding session. Our collaboration brings a unique blend of psychological theory and practical storytelling application to the classroom.
We ask the tough questions that push your writing forward. This workshop is designed for writers ready to move beyond the surface and explore the complex dynamics that make characters compelling and stories resonate.
Our 'Hamlets' batch celebrating the end of our five-week journey together. The connections you make here are just as important as the lessons you learn, creating a true community of supportive writers.
I am so proud of our first batch, the 'Hamlets'. This image captures the focus and open-mindedness that makes our workshops so successful. When a group is this hungry for knowledge, magic happens.
About Featured
This isn't a lecture-heavy course where you just listen and take notes. You will work directly with Kalpana, a clinical psychotherapist, to apply Jungian archetypes to your current manuscript. We focus on the 'why' behind your character's decisions, helping you break through that stubborn creative block to write people who feel, act, and breathe like real human beings.
Beyond the Surface
Most character work stops at descriptions and basic backstories. In this workshop, we go under the skin. Over five weeks, we explore what makes a character tick—or break. By integrating clinical insights with your narrative craft, you'll learn to handle power dynamics, shadow selves, and the 'collective unconscious' to build characters that feel genuinely alive.
Why This Matters
If you have completed the BWW Classic course, you know the power of our community. This advanced program takes that foundation and pushes it into the gritty stuff. Whether you are struggling to make your protagonist's choices believable or you just want to understand the psychological mechanisms behind compelling fiction, this is where you find those answers.
The Experience
- Dual Facilitators: You learn simultaneously from me (Bhumika) on the writing craft and Kalpana Tanwar on clinical human behavior.
- Practical Application: No boring theory. We use role-play, psychodrama, and intense character dissection to test your stories.
- The 'Hamlets' Batch: We create an environment that feels like a safe space. You'll critique, laugh, and occasionally have a breakthrough that stays with you long after the session ends.
- The Setup: We meet Sundays at Work365 in Indiranagar. It is an intense 15-hour journey over five weeks, fueled by coffee and deep conversation.
Who Is This For?
This is exclusively for BWW Classic alumni. We want writers who are ready to get a little uncomfortable and dig deep into the messy, layered reality of human nature. You’ll leave with more than just a better draft—you’ll likely walk away with a new way of observing the world around you.
