Write Imagined Worlds
A virtual, cohort-based, fiction writing program
Twelve weeks that include both group sessions & one-on-one support
Explore Craft
Participants will explore strategies that draw from Nandita's work in experimental fiction: visual aesthetics, multilingualism, autofiction, and interactive texts. This foundation will help each writer — whether a first time novelist or an experienced author — explore techniques that might enhance their writing.
Develop Your Book
Participants will work on structured outlines and chapter breakdowns for their stories, whether they're just beginning a new work or returning to a work in progress. They will be introduced to planning and editing techniques that will be of use beyond their experience in this program.
Individual Progress & Publishing Pathways
One-on-one consultations (two hours each) that allow each participant to make individualized progress on their work. Nandita will advise each participant about publishing options for their chosen path: traditional publishing, self-publishing via platforms like Amazon, or something else entirely.
Culminating Event
A virtual, TEDx-style group presentation where participants share their final products.
