With self-publishing making it easy for budding authors to get their
work out there, many people feel encouraged to start writing. While
online bookstores and e-books have helped them reach readers, many
still require guidance to get cracking.

Furthering its endeavour to foster alternative endeavours and giving
Delhiites a space that provides an open canvas where one can indulge
in their passions and inspirations, antiSOCIAL in Hauz Khas Village is
organising a hands-on two-day session on novel writing beginning on
Saturday. The endeavour is a part of a monthly series of fun and
useful workshops being organised at what the owners of the space call
a “lab”.

The two-day introductory course is tailored for beginners who are in
the process of writing their first book. The workshop will also be an
opportunity for some writers to get their work published by Grapevine
India. The instructor for the workshop is Sachin Garg, who has sold
over half a million copies of his books in India and is also the
founder of Grapevine India publishers.

The workshop will include conceptualising a novel together, where the
group provides the characters, the plot and the conflict for a story.
The aim of this discussion will be to bring out the dynamics of novel
writing. The workshop will then proceed through, taking a popular
reference book to discuss the deeper nuances of novel writing and
discuss how the author concerned handled the challenges of writing the
book.

The tools used will include videos to discuss the five most popular
tropes and techniques used by writers to build up conflict in a story.
Attendees will also get an insight into how the publishing industry
works in India and abroad, and what exactly a publisher is looking for
when he/she decides on going ahead with a book.

Guest speakers will include Business World and exchange4media group
chairman Anurag Batra.

The workshop will be held at antiSOCIAL in Hauz Khas Village between 2
p.m. and 7 p.m. It has a maximum capacity of 30 attendees and is a
ticketed event.
