Creative Writing Workshops in Bengaluru
We gather every Saturday to write, share stories, and trade ideas. From technical craft sessions to wild creative prompts, here is a glimpse into the workshops that define our community.
This is where it all begins, with a pen and a blank page. In our sessions, we explore foundational storytelling frameworks like the MICE quotient (Milieu, Idea, Character, Event) to help you structure your thoughts and build a compelling narrative from the ground up.
Writing is often about channeling the big, messy, and uncontrollable feelings we all have. This session was dedicated to exploring raw emotion in fiction, helping our writers translate powerful feelings into words and create stories that truly resonate with readers.
We have a few simple rules, and this one, borrowed from 'Fight Club', is our favorite. It’s our playful way of saying this is a unique, close-knit community where you can feel safe to experiment and share your work without pressure.
What drives a story forward, the events or the people in them? We love debating the big questions of writing craft, like the dynamic between plot and character. This session helped writers find the right balance for their own stories.
Feeling like your writing isn't good enough? We've all been there. This session was all about embracing the messy first draft and giving yourself permission to just write, even if it sucks. It's a core part of our "no stress" philosophy.
Why do we love characters like Michael Scott or George Costanza? This workshop on "Rooting for the Unlikeable" used examples from popular TV shows to explore how to create complex, flawed, yet compelling anti-heroes that readers can't help but cheer for.
How do you keep a reader on the edge of their seat? This session focused on the art of creating mystery and suspense. We explored techniques for building tension, dropping clues, and crafting thrilling page-turners.
This vibrant poster represents our session on writing authentic, culturally rich characters. We explored how to infuse stories with unique Indian voices, settings, and perspectives, moving beyond stereotypes to create dialogue and characters that feel real and lived-in.
About Featured
You don't need a fancy portfolio to write with us. We meet every Saturday for three hours at a breezy terrace near Trinity Metro, starting with a 40-minute writing prompt hosted by a community member. After the quiet writing time, we open the floor for anyone who wants to read their piece and get honest, supportive feedback from fellow writers over a cup of chai.
A Space for Every Storyteller
We believe the best stories come from a mix of wild imagination and shared experience. That is why our creative writing workshops in Bengaluru are designed to be inclusive, low-pressure, and high-inspiration. Whether you are a beginner picking up a pen for the first time or a seasoned writer looking for fresh challenges, our doors are open.
How Our Sessions Work
Every Saturday afternoon from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, we gather at our open-air terrace venue near Trinity Metro. Here is what you can expect:
- The Prompt: Each week, a volunteer host introduces a fresh theme. We have explored everything from the MICE quotient to the art of writing 'unlikeable' characters.
- The Sprint: We dedicate 40 minutes to pure writing time. You write to the prompt, or you write about whatever you want. The goal is simply to get the ink moving.
- The Feedback: We hold an optional reading session. If you are comfortable, you share what you wrote and receive constructive, honest peer critique. If you prefer to just listen and learn, that is completely fine too.
Why Join Us?
Unlike traditional writing courses, we focus on community over competition. There is no grading and no judgment. We are a group of friends who argue about metaphors, laugh at bizarre plot twists, and support each other through the messy first draft. Our sessions are a safe space where kindness and respect are the only rules.
We provide the creative structure and the company. You just need to bring a notebook, a pen, and an open mind. If you are looking for a storytelling group to sharpen your skills, explore new genres, or simply find a place to write on weekends, come by and say hello.
