Wings on Words

A legend once said, “Great writers are not born… but created.”  

I believed him. What about you?

Have you ever felt that you have a story to tell but your mind goes blank the minute you grab a paper and a pen?

Have you ever felt you want to contribute articles for magazines or websites but the words just don’t flow the way you want them to?

Have you ever been transformed completely by a book and wondered if you could at least write a short story to reach out to others?

Have you wanted to express your feelings to someone through a letter but realized you are stuck?

Have you ever felt that your professional letters or resume just don’t have that PUNCH?

Have you ever felt stuck with your S.O.P as a student applying to go abroad? Or have you felt that the knowledge is in your mind, but it’s just not coming out on paper?

Do your kids (between 10-15) have a way with words and want to get published?

Do your kids (between 6-8) enjoy creative writing and you want them to have the opportunity to hone their skills?

If your answer is a yes, I may be able to help!

Wings on words is a unique 10 session online course.

Time: Not time bound! You can take a day to answer a session or 15 days – idea is to sip into each session, bit by bit and take maximum out of it

Investment: 5000 only

If your answer is a yes, I may be able to help!
Here is a unique ten session online course which will enable you to grow as a writer

Session 1: I will be sending you a Writing Quotient Test which will help us to analyze your grammar skills, vocabulary, editing and creativity in writing.

Session 2: Depending on the result, second session will be an email from me explaining to you about your writing skills, your strengths and areas of improvement. Along with this, I will send appropriate test papers to enable you to improve in your area of weakness.

Session 3: You will tell me what your inclination is towards: story writing, articles, journaling, web pages or general. Accordingly I will give you two topics to write upon.

Session 4: We will discuss what you are doing right and where you need to improve keeping the two pieces in mind. The feedback will be extremely in-depth and the you will re-write keeping in mind the changes and compare the pieces for yourself to see how far you have come.

Session 5: You will write in-depth pieces on a topic of your interest with minimal help from me and also learn to act like a ‘reviewer’ and an ‘editor’ to your own piece.

Session 6: At this stage, if it’s articles for magazines or short stories you are interested in, I will try and get you in touch with editors of your interest and train you to write for THAT particular magazine which interests you.

Session 7: We move into the most important part of writing: editing. I will send your own three pieces which you will edit and send back to me. This exercise will help you to realize which words are important while writing and which can be chopped off. It will fine tune your language and take it to the next level.

Session 8: You will write something and together, online, we will edit it so you know how the process is done professionally. By yourself you will lift your work up a few notches.

Session 9: You will send me an article written and edited by you and together we will analyze it, keeping in mind all the pieces you have sent. At this stage, chances are you wont believe that the person who wrote the first piece, and the last, are the same.

Session 10: Questions and answers on everything we have learnt. I will send you an evaluation card along with a page full of tips personalized and custom made for you so that the learning stays with you whenever you write next.

The Investment: Rs. 5000 only. (Cheque or online transfer to account - details will be available with the registration form)

(I will send you material and as you finish, you will send it back so we evaluate it before I send you the next bit! Some people may take a lot of time, and some very little. That’s fine. The idea is to sip into each session and take the maximum from it. )
