Finding and enrolling in the best creative writing courses in India has been more difficult than I thought. At least it used to be, seven years ago when I had just dived into freelance writing. I wanted to hone my skills and practice fiction writing too, which is when I started looking for creative writing courses online. 

For a while, I even considered getting an MA in creative writing in India. But as many working professionals like me will agree — there is simply not enough time. 

I was initially more inclined towards classroom courses since those would help me get out of the house more (I work from home ) and they would also allow me to network with other writers. But most of the classroom courses I found were either not available in my city or were incredibly expensive. That is why I also started looking at free creative writing courses online.

In this article, I take you through all the top creative writing courses available both as classroom courses and online.

What is creative writing?

Creative writing is any writing where creativity is involved and differs from normal academic, professional, journalistic or technical forms of literature. This form of writing uses imagination and innovation in order to tell a story. It can involve fiction, essays, scripts and poetry. Professional writing courses give you the tools you need to ace creative writing.  

Though constant learning and practicing will improve your creative writing skills. Free online content writing courses with certificates help you reach your writing goals.

For a freelance writer, taking up a creative writing course online can help you hone your skills and also move more towards fiction writing. There are many brands who need storytelling writers and even poets. 

Why enroll in a creative writing course?

There are various learning benefits that you’ll get when you enroll in a creative writing course. Here are the major benefits of taking up an online English writing course as a freelance content writer :

  • Find your own unique writer’s voice
  • An experience of practical learning to gain the skills you need
  • Master different writing styles and techniques
  • Produce great fiction
  • Understand and apply principles of creative writing in stories and poems
  • Become a professional of literary masterpieces in English. You’ll understand how this plays a role in the creation of book or novel writing
  • Write more convincing and captivating plots to hook readers
  • Enhance your vocabulary and hence improve your communication skills
  • Empower yourself as a writer and improve your creativity

Creative writing comes in many forms, and there are a variety of courses that focus on these forms. Here are some of the great creative writing courses available online:

Small Correction : For IGNOU, Its page no 86 in the prospectus and not 80. Thank you for the information.

'  data-srcset=

Thanks Kunal 🙂

'  data-srcset=

I did the DCE from IGNOU in 2002. The notes are pretty basic. The project work gets you to write a lot and that’s a bonus. I wouldn’t mind doing it again if their syllabus has been updated.

I am actually thinking of taking up that course in the summer, will definitely update you when I do

'  data-srcset=

Hey Ritika! Did you take up the course? What is your feedback on this??

No, I did not end up taking any of the above listed courses. I was thinking to take up IGNOU but I heard the curriculum wasn’t good. The only viable option is Symbiosis one but I am not sure if I am willing to put that much money in :/

Thanks for your reply Ritika! I too am on second thoughts about Symbiosis for the very same reason!!

'  data-srcset=

Great compilation of courses with helpful and accurate descriptions! Thank you 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi ritika Plz give ur feedback .I think u should hav completed it now

Hi Jasdeep, I am not doing these courses right now. Though I do recommend, checking out the eBook mentioned above

'  data-srcset=

Interesting post! I have some experience of IGNOU, not in Creative Writing though, and that was like, a century ago and therefore out of date anyways, but my experience was positive all in all. Thanks for visiting my blog and see you after April! 🙂 Stay well.

Thanks for you inputs Nilanjana!

Now I am really inclined to do the IGNOU course. Lets see 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika, Useful post! Elsewhere i could find review about the course at IGNOU, and it wasnt a promising one. The syllabus is outdated and for a year or two the course was not conducted and people who had registered were’nt intimated about updates. Since I am looking for a distance learning program, hence i am left with SCDL, Pune (as only IGNOU and SCDL have distance learning program on Creative Writing). I am looking for a review on its course. Kindly share if you have some review related info about the course. Thanks ! Taruna.

My research led me to the exact same place. IGNOU doesn’t seem worth it

'  data-srcset=

Hi guys, I am pursuing a distance learning course from symbiosis pune on creative writing. It is good and has 6 exams and 6 projects to be completed in a year. It has been interesting and provides insights into creative writer’s lives and many other aspects of writing. It is expensive compared to other courses as mentioned here but I am working so this works for me.

That’s great to hear Rimpy! If it works for you and fits your schedule then there isn’t much you can ask for! Whenever you finish the course, do share your complete experience 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi Rimpy , I m planning to pursue creative writing course in symbiosis .. please provide Info regarding modes n types of examination conducted. Its damn expensive so b4 joining wanna know wthr is it worthy .Thank you

I registered for DCE in June with IGNOU in July my classes are only going to start on October :P. They told me that I have to attend 1 class every month in study centre. I also registered with SDCL from there I get a message every day that admission is extended a week more :P. let’s see what will happen NB: I paid ignou fees it’s just 3k. Not having the courage to spend 22k on sdcl at least for now let’s see. will update you.

Yes, I was told the same thing about Study Centre,that I need to attend at least one in a month, which is really difficult for me, considering how much I travel.

Do let me know your experience with IGNOU. In fact, I would love it if you would write a post here on the website about the course experience because it will help A LOT of people 🙂

Hi niyas .Can u plz tell me some details how many study centre they hav and where they are? whats d total fee for 1 year course? howz dere teaching sense?wat technique dey use ?R dey providing good knowledge or jst time pass material.

Hey Ritika I want to improve my command on english writing, will these courses help.

These courses aren’t meant to improve your English, they are meant to improve your writing style

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika Myself Manish Tiwari from Allahabad. I am working as Trainer. i am about to quit my job and i am going to shift Mumbai for writing. New differnt types of ideas comes in my mind and when i start to write then i feel i am missing something

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika What i have to do to become a freelance writer.Is there any good center in Kerala or near by Bangalore to study creative English.is creative English course enough to improve writing style?

'  data-srcset=

I don’t think writing starts by learning….for me mostly it’s an idea…a song….or just getting inspired after which everything falls into space

'  data-srcset=

I have registered for DCE with IGNOU. I got a mail specifically informing me to collect study material from IGNOU regional center. I don’t know how this works. Have written a mail to send the materials to me directly. Will keep posted on what happens, so that other aspirants can take an informed decision.

Yes, that’s what I heard from some other sources. The thing with IGNOU is – they don’t really care. They have a way of doing things and they are not flexible. Please let me know how your course goes 🙂

Well, surprise! IGNOU has sent me all the course material through courier. However submitting projects is still unclear. Timeline of the course is a bit vague as well. However all course books are with me. Content looks pretty decent. For all the aspirants out there, I suggest you to go ahead with the diploma in Creative Writing if its impossible for you to attend workshops or classroom certificate courses.

Thanks for all the details Nahusha. Would you like to write a review about the IGNOU course about the website? 🙂

'  data-srcset=

I too planning about pursuing this course. Will it be beneficial plz suggest.

hi Nahusha Can u plz tell me all d details for registration in DCE wid IGNOU . What is the fee structure there? how to pay? how they send us data? is there any exams or just assignments

Fee structure : 3300 Payment can be done by debit card. They will send all material by post. No exams. A project at the end of the course. Every info is available at their site.

'  data-srcset=

I am looking up for an MFA in creative writing which I guess is not worth if done in India. But if you have any idea about the course which would be beneficial if done here itself, do let me know. Because Symbiosis has a distance program which is like, we are just playing in the sands, instead of going in the oceans for much adventure. And being a passionate writer, I also have my blog but the thing is I want to work for some magazines, if you have the answers to any of my above queries please mail me at [email redacted] else awaiting for your reply here itself.

Regards, Indrajeet

I would suggest going the internship way, instead of doing an MFA, if your end goal is to work in a magazine

he hi Rritika thanks for sharing such great info thanks a lot

Thank You Ma’am for all the infos. I m a college stud,I belong to Kolkata, I think it will be useful for me to join British Council rather than any open university am I right? Is a PG degree in Journalism is essential for a freelance writer?

You don’t need a journalism degree to be a freelance writer. Yes, British Council is a great option if you are in Kolkata, just make sure the class timings suit you 🙂

Thank you for such an informative post. I am an aspiring author from LA. Since any kind of education in US is quite expensive I opted for distance learning in India. Admissions are possible for International Students at IGNOU, although the fee varies. I have emailed them about registration process for international students. Having said that my goal is MFA is English, as I like to pursue Creative Writing Diploma at a more modern institute with up-to date techniques in writing. I have taken your advise and enrolled in the course offered by the Michigan state University. Having deprived o the opportunity to choose a field of my liking during college, I like to pursue a cheap yet decent MFA degree. Do you have any suggestions about the Masters degree in English from IGNOU? I have no clue about the curriculum offered. To me all looks good as long as its literature. However, I am not sure if its contemporary. Please advise.

The usual subject matter is outside technical writing, academic writing, research writing or journalism. It mainly focuses on poetry, narrative or drama under fiction; and under non-fiction, there are memoirs, biography, autobiography and expository non-fiction. Some primary elements of creative writing are characterization, realism, setting, tone and structure and plot.

One’s ability to combine words and punctuation to captivate the reader’s attention requires skill. This skill is innate per se, but sometimes it requires honing. There also exists a debate if we can teach art. Is this a skill that you can acquire? Though this argument persists, the creative writing industry is thriving and growing. Many are mentoring and collaborating with aspiring writers in India. Several people are mastering this skill by enrolling in creative writing courses. 

In India, Creative writing is much coveted. The below chart shows the interest in this subject over time in India. It also shows that this form of writing is intriguing for people to embrace as a passion. 

Many institutions in India provide creative writing courses. They are both offline and online because of the new social pandemic norms.

We offer writing courses but people often ask us what else is out there? Are there courses in other places? Or in their hometowns? Not everyone can travel. And some people don’t like driving in mountains.

So we went hunting and put together a list. We found a surprising number in Bangalore. Further, we could get first-hand feedback on only a few, we can’t say if they’re all good or not. Here are the writing courses we found in India. The list is in alphabetical order

Our Take: Credentials are impressive, but the course is pricey. In our experience they are somewhat slow to respond.

Retreat Holiday

7.     Himalayan Writing Retreat 

This is my favourite, as I’ve been fortunate to experience and enjoy it. The Himalayan Writing Retreat (HWR) is the only residential facility dedicated to writing in Asia. The HWR runs a busy calender of events throughout the year which attracts teachers and students from all over the world.

The retreat is an orchard on a ridge with brilliant dawns, dusks and views of the big white peaks. Located in Nainital District, the retreat was set up in 2016 by two published authors – Chetan Mahajan & Dr. Vandita Dubey. Vandita is a US trained clinical psychologist and published author who works in the area of mental health and wellbeing. Chetan is a Penguin published author and writing coach. He also writes an award-winning blog about leaving city life for a Himalayan village.  ( http://www.uncity.blog/ ).

Courses :  Dr . Vandita Dubey conducts a “Himalayan Happiness Project” a workshop on emotional well-being. This workshop uses writing as a tool for reflection and growth.

There are Master Classes with distinguished authors . The Himalayan Blogging Workshop is led by Sumit Bansal, a master blogger and a fabulous teacher.

The Himalayan Writing Bootcamp (which I attended back in 2017), is their most popular workshop led by Chetan Mahajan. The workshop will help you build your story idea and learn the importance of tight editing. You will learn the nuts and bolts of translating ideas into a book. The workshop also takes a deep dive into the world of publishing. Chetan has a strong understanding of the space, and you can read his blog about Self Publishing Vs Traditional Publishing here . Here you find that working hard is easy when you are treated to generous doses of humour and a non-stop supply of chai . Classes move from inside to the outdoors depending on the weather and the views. Evenings end with walks in the mountains and powwows around the bonfire. And the loudest sound is birdsong.

With a maximum group size of 10 you get one on one feedback and support. I left the place with a heightened understanding of the writing process and a motivation to write regularly. The encouragement of a circle of writing friends – whom I met there and continue to be in touch with – certainly helped. One of our fellow participants, Kamalini Natesan, has recently published her book “Naked Beneath the Midnight Sun”.

Several authors have been able to complete and publish their books post the boot camp. Details about the authors and their books are available at  https://www.himalayanwritingretreat.com/books-by-hwr-participants/ .

Nature of Courses : Residential

Cost : Course fees range from Rs. 28000-46000  which includes four nights stay on a twin-sharing basis, all food, sessions and taxes . (HWR also hosts Retreats which are different from workshops. These retreats are 10 days long and are priced at USD 2800).

The stay is twin-shared. Single occupancy is possible at a cost of Rs. 8000 but is subject to availability.

Place: Village Satkhol, District Nainital, Uttarakhand

Eligibility: Some events are free sign-on. For others, fill in the application form, send a writing sample in English or a translated piece of work and you are good to go.

Top 5 Creative Writing Courses in India With Placements

The most effective and most challenging form of writing is one that evokes the emotion of readers and keeps them engaged with your words. the whole process of producing creative content not only ranks you among other writers but also ranks with your own earlier works. hence, we find creative writing, one of the interesting parts of writing. in this article, let us discuss a few creative writing courses in india you must consider, before joining one..

List of best creative writing courses in India

What is Creative Writing?

Writing content that is not professional and formal is considered creative writing. Although writing generally is defined as a channel of expression, it is creative writing that requires more flow of imaginative ideas and a vivid visualizing writing style. Each author holds their own style of writing when it comes to creative writing. There are wide varieties of creative writings. It includes poetry writing, short story writing, novel writing, etc.

Elements of Creative Writing

In order to build your creative writing skill, you need to find if you possess the following elements, and if not, there is always a way to build it with constant practice. Creative writing courses in India are provided by various institutes all over the country. The elements are discussed below:

  • Avid Reader: To be a writer, you should be a reader first. Writers who are creative and imaginative help themselves by reading the works of others. It is a very important trait to possess as a writer. In order to enter a niche, you have to know what is in that niche. And this knowledge can be obtained only when you do read the like books and contents you wish to write.
  • Regularity: Creative writing skills improve with regularity in writing. The more you write, the more ideas you get. That’s the way to keep yourself on your toes without getting worried about the right flow in writing. That’s why there is a saying ‘Practice maketh men’. You should write on a regular basis in order to enhance your ability to produce standard content.
  • Rewrite: Editing is one of the crucial processes of creative writing. Although everything in the first draft sounds very well inked, you should give room for improvement in your writing. This might bring out a better version by adding some new original ideas or saving the irrelevant ideas for your future project. Make a first draft, second draft, and third draft and no matter how many drafts you take to finish a complete piece of your work, I believe in proofreading and rewriting for presenting a very well-polished piece of work.
  • Explain your stand: As an individual person in this world, we all have our own views on things. You should decide whose perspective you are going to put forth. Since creative writing involves poetry, short stories, and novels, in all these genres there are characters you create, mood, place, and the environment you expect to deliver to the readers. If so, you should decide from whose point of view all these emotions and feelings are delivered.
  • Take time to interact with fellow writers: Get some fresh air, by attending workshops and interactive sessions with other writers. The trendy flow of a budding writer and the confident sound of a veteran writer is something you cannot learn from sitting alone in a chair in front of a screen.
  • Explore: Look into multiple topics, and try out new stuff with the mindset of a learner. Learning and gaining knowledge is the only aspect that never becomes old and unuseful. If you are a writer who wants to be a remarkable poet, invest some of your time in learning various forms of poetry. This practice gives you an opportunity to build an open mind and helps you come up with refreshing ideas. Sometimes, this can be a great way to find the niche that you can own.
  • Everything for the readers: Although the works you create are written by you, ultimately the readers are the people who will help you establish your works in society. If no one is going to read your works, then you better save them for your journal. Creative Writers out there! I call you out to carry a resolve that you will either write what people will read or practice writing compelling pieces of work. So, if you know your reader, you can figure out your path.
  • Use Figures of Speech: I call them the tools which enhance the nature of output the words deliver to the reader. The figures of speech include alliteration, metaphor, simile, personification, and other tools you can use in your writing. They can add rich flavors to your content and keeps it vivid to imagine and enjoy reading.
  • Empathy: Having an empathetic heart is a plus for a creative content writer. As a writer, you should be the bridge between the reader and your story. Having such a privilege is given to a writer to help the character in your story communicate with the reader. Practice writing various emotions to find a better way to convey an emotion in your language or style of writing.
  • Accept criticisms: This is one of the important elements you should possess as a writer. When you are open to criticism, you can find the flaws and help yourself to rectify them. This process is nothing but growth. Growth in writing increases when reviews are taken positively not being so skeptical about it.

This form also includes Auto-biography and Biography writing. Journals and diary writing are great examples of memoirs but in a more narrative way.
  • Journalism: Although journalism is non-fiction, it is considered creative non-fiction. The other creative non-fiction is technical writing and academic writing. Essay and docufiction are other examples widely seen in this type of writing. Journalism requires a huge amount of research and factual confirmation since it is mostly published and it is one of the top requirements to have writers’ ethics for journalism. It is also prone to criticism which is why this type of writing focuses on the accuracy of the content.
  • Children’s books: Short stories with pictures are drawings written for younger audiences are covered under this category. This category of writing includes fairy tales, lullaby folklore, and other such stories we hear in our childhood. There are many budding writers who wish to write children’s books.

Now, we are moving on to the next section of our topic – the scope of creative writing, concerning a career in the writing department. 

Scope of Creative Writing Courses for Kids in India

Shortly, your kid does not need a formal degree in the field to be a writer. He just needs to have a good grasp of the English language to start as a writer in the industry. Since English is a universal language, there is a lot of emphasis on having a good command of the language. A  writer who has a good grasp of the language can pen down books, or be a scriptwriter for a movie. Besides that, the following fields can also be taken up in the future.

Copywriters:

Usually, copywriters are found in the line of advertising and marketing. An expert copywriter writes clear, precise copy for advertisements and marketing materials. To make sure their message is understood whether in an email inbox or on a website landing page , they collaborate closely with web and graphic designers. The only restriction on creative writing for a copywriter is the creator’s imagination.

Journalists/ Article writer:

A journalist or an article writer researches, and then reports the truth backed by facts and statistics. Though, a journalist may or may not be an article writer. But only an article writer writes the report that was provided by a journalist. The report can be based on different beats like lifestyle, science, travel, sports, entertainment, politics, etc. 

To be a journalist or an article writer one needs to be proficient in his favorite beat. Journalists/ article writer writes for newspaper, magazine, and news website. Thus, we can say that the scope of creative writing for journalists/article writers is high.

Authors are the persons who write a book. Generally, authors pen down engaging novels like “Life of Pie”, and “Alchemist”. It is due to their brilliant imagination that we can enjoy captivating stories. Because of popular authors like Agatha Christie, JK Rowling, and many others’ hard work, their books are often referred to as works of art.

Nevertheless, here we are discussing what your kid can be in the future.  In the future, your kid can be an author based on his favorite genre. The genre can be classified broadly into a thriller, science fiction, young adult, and, historical fiction amongst others. Thus, we can see that the scope of authors is quite vast.

Script Writers:

Scriptwriters are those persons who prepare scripts for visual mediums. It is because of them that the actors and actresses can portray the roles that they have been assigned. However, the scripts they prepare can be for films, plays, radio programs, advertisement videos, and, television. Preparing scripts seems like an exciting job. 

Although, to be a scriptwriter one must be imaginative, and creative enough to deliver dialogues that seem appealing to the audience. Some people take great pleasure in creating extravagant, imaginative scenarios. And, for those people, script writing will be an attractive job offer to pass by. Having said that, it looks like the scope of script writing is only going to expand. 

Academic Librarian:

When it comes to the scope of creative writing, this profession is the least followed occupation as far as creative writing as a job is concerned. In this profession, one has to manage, organize and even assess and distribute information. Apart from the mentioned points, as an academic librarian, a person also provides support to the academic community members like students, lecturers and researchers. 

If your kid wants to be an academic librarian then, he must provide support to students and staff to develop the skills that are required for impactful research including teaching skills, either in a classroom session or online sessions.

Ghostwriting:

Ghostwriting is considered to be one of the most interesting careers in the arena of writing. A ghostwriter or a freelance writer is a person, who composes articles, books, and manuscripts for someone else. They are also called freelance writers as they are not working for a company or under somebody. Ghostwriters are often recruited by politicians, celebrities, and, executives, who know what their story is but do not have great writing skills.    

Want to become a ghostwriter? Here are the Must-follow Steps for Becoming a Ghostwriter

A columnist is a person who writes opinionated articles for magazines, newspapers, or news websites. A columnist can be a great career option, provided your kid knows the subject that he would write for. Moreover, it would only be temporary because the subject matter and creative writing requirements for a columnist will only appeal to a specific audience in a specific location or demographic.

But as time went by, the columns expanded into several diverse fields like entertainment, sports, politics, general, science, lifestyle, homemaking, and many more. It takes talent to be able to use word choice and punctuation to keep the reader’s interest. This ability is naturally present, but it occasionally needs to be developed. Also up for contention is whether or not art can be taught.

Is this something you can learn? The creative writing sector is prospering and expanding despite this persistent dispute. Many people are working with prospective authors in India and guiding them. Enrolling in creative writing classes has helped many children to become proficient in this area.
