Summer Writing Workshops for Budding Young Writers

Doodles and Scribbles' is a creative writing workshop for children between 7 to 12 years of age organised by Chillibreeze and will be hosted at the Oxford Bookstore at the Leela Galleria in Bangalore on the 15th of May. With tips and tricks to improve writing skills, fun exercises and creative writing techniques the 3 hour workshop is designed for children who enjoy writing.

In addition participants will receive feedback on their writing techniques and an exciting suggested reading list, compiled by writers from the network and the Oxford Bookstore. A select few budding writers may even see their work published online through Chillibreeze or in an e-book of stories by children for children!

The workshop will be conducted by Meenakshi Venkat who is a former literature teacher and an experienced book editor based in Bangalore. Meenakshi says, “I am keen to nurture young talent and help stimulate dormant imaginations through this creative writing workshop. This activity aims to stimulate creative thinking and writing using visual prompts.”

Vilasini Kumar, the COO of Chillibreeze says, "This workshop is in keeping with our commitment to serve the community of Indian writers - the established ones, those who are exploring the possibility and even the very young 'potentials' who are yet to find their calling! We hope to see 'Doodles and Scribbles' ignite a creative spark in the participants and to get their ideas to flow!"
