Out of Print Writing Workshops

The Out of Print Short Story Workshops

Announcements of forthcoming workshops on social media

August 19 and 20, 2023

Residential Workshop at Infinite Souls Farm

First day -- discussed everything from that elusive 'shimmer' Joan Didion speaks of in her essay – after Orwells of the same name, 'Why I Write' to how each of us navigate translating our varied cerebral landscapes into the English language and written word.

After a meal of sambar, breadfruit pallya, mango cheesecake somewhere in there – the intense experience of workshopping the short stories of five wonderful writers
@bharathk6 @snaps_sketches_n_scribbles @haathikumari @anushka_with_stories
@theactual1percent with Out of Print editor @zui.666. From exploring intergenerational trauma to divine communications with the natural world, delving into these stories was absolutely thrilling.

The evening was spent unwinding in discussion with @kirtanakumar about her collection of short stories Bangalore Blues, and discussing voice, the city and the stories of characters that often times remain on the fringes.

Next morning was a special treat with @Indira_Chandrasekhar and @James Brunner speaking about the history of Out of Print, the nature of the short story, ways in which the participants could think about and develop their writing, and the possibilities for the future.

The writers shared what they each got from the workshop.

Here's to the next and the next, thank you all for trusting us with your work.
