Creative Writing Classes: From Novels to Poetry

In my classes, we don't just write; we experiment. Whether it's a six-word story challenge or mapping out a novel's structure, the goal is to stop staring at the blank page and start playing with words. I keep batch sizes very small (2–5 students) so every child gets enough time to read their work aloud and get feedback on their specific writing style.

Writing is a skill that evolves with practice, and my sessions are built to make that practice feel like discovery rather than homework. When we jump between forms—like flash fiction, personal essays, or scriptwriting—we are teaching the brain to adapt. A student might find they are a natural at the sharp brevity of poetry but struggle with the pacing of a long-form story. My job is to help them identify those strengths.

The 'What': From Plot to Poetry

My curriculum is designed to break down the intimidation factor. We analyze the opening lines of classics to understand what makes a reader want to turn the page, and then we apply those lessons to their own drafts.

• Novel Writing: We focus on the five stages of storytelling: idea, mapping, drafting, editing, and sharing.
• Poetry: We play with rhythm, metaphors, and sensory details, showing kids that poetry is just a different way to organize their feelings.
• Flash Fiction: This is about brevity and impact—learning to tell a complete story in just a few lines.

My Approach to Learning

I believe writing is a form of daily magic, but it requires structure. For a 10-year-old, we focus on descriptive imagery and 'Show, Don't Tell.' For teens and adults, we look at character arcs, internal conflicts, and world-building.

We meet online via Zoom or in-person in Gurgaon, Delhi, and Noida. Every class includes offline assignments where I provide detailed grammar and flow corrections. This ensures that while the class is fun, the progress is measurable. You aren't just writing; you are learning how to refine your narrative voice.
