How does one render writing as lucid, evocative, and affective? How does the understanding of “text” as a form allow us to break the mold of formal language that we are used to encountering? What are the tools and instruments of the writerly sphere? This day-long workshop will focus on addressing writing as craft and practice– exploring notes, poetry, and manifestos, to think through and with the literary. This works in tandem with taking on the role of editor with one’s own writing, pushing past the fear of the rewrite.

This session will include materials, exercises and editorial feedback on writing. The workshop invites writers in the field of arts, literature and humanities, who have graduated in the last few years. We are keen to invite writers who have not published their work extensively before.
