About Intensive Workshops & Mentorship
We keep every workshop cohort strictly capped at 12 to 15 participants. This isn't just about listening to a lecture, it's about making sure your specific writing challenges get addressed with direct, line-by-line feedback from published authors who have actually walked the path you are on.
Whether you are struggling with a first draft or ready to take your spoken word to the stage, our programs bridge the gap between hobby and craft. We operate out of our Connaught Place studio in New Delhi, a space designed for community, not just classrooms.
What you can expect:
- Small-Group Mentorship: You won't be lost in a crowd. Our Flash Fiction and Narrative Writing sessions are designed for intimacy. You get face-to-face time with mentors who understand the business of writing, from self-editing to finding an agent.
- Hybrid Learning: Can't make it to CP? Our online mentorship programs bring the same rigour to your laptop via Zoom, connecting you with celebrity poets and industry peers globally.
- Performance Training: If you are looking to turn page-poetry into spoken word, our weekend bootcamps focus on the technical side, covering vocal modulation, stage presence, and mic technique.
We believe that poetry is for everyone, from doctors and students to homemakers. Our community is a mix of languages—Hindi, English, Maithili—and we celebrate that. When you join a workshop with us, you aren't just paying for a certificate, you are joining a tribe that meets for chai, debates poetry, and supports each other's creative journeys. Whether you are looking for poetry mentorship in India or just need a safe space to find your rhythm, our doors are open.
