Why don't writers write?
In one word - Fear.
“What can I write that has not been written before?"
"What if I write something, but no one publishes it?"
"What if someone publishes my work, but no one reads it?"
"What if everyone reads my work, and they think it is terrible?"
This course will not make your fears magically disappear.
But it will teach you to write despite the fears.
If this resonates with you, this course is for you.
Inside this course
Online Workshops
The course includes four writing workshops spread over four weeks, each four hours long.
Minimal gyaan from me. Some group work. And a LOT of actual writing and storytelling!
Assignments and Resources
Our four weeks together will also include four weekly assignments. I will share resources that will help you with them, and share my feedback after you submit each assignment.
But please note that I am not a marks-ist. Unless you use a Bollywood reference, in which case, 1000 points to you!
One-on-one call with me
A chance for us to connect, and go over any questions you might have about writing, publishing, storytelling, my career, your career, life, the universe, and (almost) anything.
Hello ji!
I hate to brag, but how else will you know if I am qualified to do this? So here goes.
My name is Mahima. I am a former civil servant, an IIM Bangalore alumna, and a Harvard-published author. I have co-authored a book with the Prime Minister of India. Over the last 15 years, I have worked in the development sector with organizations such as UNICEF, the World Bank, and Tata Trusts.
I am also the creator of the award-winning newsletter, Womaning in India. The stories I have told through Womaning have been read over half a million times.
