I finished the Basics of Creative writing workshop in July 2020.
I have read all the books by Gouri Dange and lived each. I also follow her weekly columns. It was her easy writing, her depth of characters and the extremely relatable subjects that keep me going back.
I was hoping to get some direction for my own writing from this workshop and I was totally happy. Gouri madam is a very good teacher. In so many ways she spurs you on. Gentle but fundamental pointers showed us how to write. How to avoid cliches and just how to get better. She is approachable, empathetic and makes writing attractive.
I would strongly recommend this workshop to would like to write and write well.
Thank you.

I was hooked to attend this workshop by the brochure itself and what it had to offer in syllabus and from the mentor Gouri ma’am. When I attended the workshop I loved it. It really opened me up, made the writer in me excited. I loved sharing my writings and listening to other people’s stories. I looked forward to the next day of the workshop as well. It was so helpful and motivating. Gouri ma’am is truly so amazing, she has so much knowledge and is so humble and easy to speak to! Loved it!!! A BIG thanks to Aziz sir as well who during these corona times is so dedicated to living bridge and the silent backbone of the group. Thanks so much sir, you are such an inspiration!

I looked forward to the weekends of the workshop. Gouri is a mentor who guides by showing and not telling. I would recommend this workshop to everyone who has something to say – and to quote Gouri “everyone has” 🙂
It was an enriching experience left me with a set of skill set worth remembering not only to write better – but to read and listen better too!

The workshop was indeed excellent. I am glad I did this one. Her teaching is simple, techniques are great. The exercises she gave were challenging but stimulating. For those like me who love to write but are not sure how to write in a way that readers would love, this workshop is the answer.

The workshop was a wonderful experience especially for beginners like me. It gives you a great place to begin, if you want to write but are struggling with how to start. A lot of basic tips and tricks and skills that can be added to your arsenal as you kick-off your writing journey. Gouri was a really great mentor, who made the sessions very interesting and interactive, and always had a kind and encouraging word for everyone.

A most enriching experience. Gouri is a wonderful teacher, and the writing exercises she gave us were great fun to do and challenging as well. Her insights and analyses were excellent. The group was an interesting one, with a rapport being established among complete strangers within a very short time. The WhatsApp group was a boon. Missing our wonderful evenings spent together from our diverse locations.
