The course is for writers with an appreciation for all varieties of narrative non-fiction and who, ideally, have an existing project in the works. These writers are interested in writing first-person narrative, observational essays, or investigation-based non-fiction.
DurationCreative Non-fiction, or narrative non-fiction, despite being a somewhat recently-coined literary term, covers quite a broad spectrum of genres under the banner of creative writing. It can include, but is not limited to, memoir, biography, essays, articles, literary journalism, blogging and poetry. Typically, but not always, writers in this genre are present in their work.
Writing non-fiction does not mean you must deny the compulsion to be creative. The craft of writing creative non-fiction welcomes the use of tools formerly reserved for writers of fiction.
This is not the same as making things up. It means discovering the most convincing way to tell your story using every instrument at your disposal. That's why we urge you to apply only if you have attended the BWW Classic course.
You will be guided to write with ambition and imagination using the elements fundamental to creative non-fiction in this workshop. This fairly intensive workshop will help you bring an open-mindedness towards the creation of your work.
You will study published examples of creative non-fiction and develop the vocabulary to critique texts and each other’s work in the class. You will learn to be receptive to constructive criticism while gaining the self-confidence to discern and discard unhelpful criticism.
The workshop methodology will ensure that you will also gain sensitivity in criticising fellow writers, through your nuanced understanding of criticism.
This is not a programme designed for writers who wish to explore different genres (do check our BWW: Classic for that), but rather for those who want to research and/or to write narrative non-fiction, especially on blogs. Creative non-fiction does not include journalistic reportage, technical writing, or genre fiction.
Who Is It Targeted At?
If you have always wanted to have a stellar travel blog, or a blog where you share all the lessons you’ve learnt from your life and work, then this is the course for you.

Bangalore Writers Workshop (BWW) is a unique, effective, and interactive method of bringing a group of writers together and allowing them to study the craft of writing while simultaneously receiving constructive feedback on their own work.
BWW runs intensive creative writing workshops with small groups. Our groups are fuelled by passion and the creative energy of people with diverse life experiences.
Our creative writing workshops are targeted at the technologically savvy software professionals, students who want to write a book before they are 25, talented homemakers, retired persons who want to keep themselves busy with a writing project full of their experiences that can aid society. Any writer in English, above the age of 18 is welcome to join the workshops. There is no upper limit.
If you apply and are selected for our courses, you will start a spectacular journey of learning, unlearning, and re-learning the writing craft; channelizing your own inner editor; and bonding with a group of writers who are serious about writing and storytelling.
BWW was founded by Bhumika Anand and Rheea Mukherjee in December 2011. Rheea Mukherjee was part of BWW till January 2014.
BWW’s mission is to foster the creative mind, encourage a community, and make writers aware of who they are as creators of text.
To this effect, there will be discussions on the creative writing process; meet-ups with published authors and literary experts; introduction to the various genres and writing styles in literature; and constant feedback for the writers.
BWW follows the workshop method. Writers at BWW meet for two to three hours over five to eight weekends and study the craft of writing while simultaneously receiving constructive feedback on their own work.
There are three main components to our workshop: Reading, Writing, and Critiquing.
Our workshops cover a wide range of writing exercises that allow our students to experiment with different voices and genres. We conduct discussions on the creative writing process, and organise meet-ups with published authors and literary experts. As writers ourselves, we have knowledge on publishing trends, writing for magazines, freelancing, and literary magazines.
Our Course Books provide an introduction to the various genres and writing styles in literature.
At BWW, we believe in creating a community. No matter how many people we work with, we believe that everyone has something to share and their input allows for a holistic understanding. We want to be able to understand and facilitate exciting, safe, and community-oriented models that are enriching and self-sustaining. Our workshops provide constant feedback for the writers.
Our aim is to create more aware writers. To this purpose, we enable our students to use their skills for creative or professional pursuits.
