The Wryte People writing programmes offer structured mentorship for writers looking to develop their stories into short stories and novels. These programmes are designed for both aspiring and developing writers, whether they are starting with an idea or already have a manuscript in progress.
Through online mentoring sessions, one-on-one interactions, and a carefully planned timeline, participants are guided through the process of developing an idea into a complete manuscript. Rather than simply teaching writing theory, the programmes emphasise practical, hands-on development of each participant's story.
Participants are introduced to and taught various aspects of writing, including plot building, character arcs, creating atmosphere, generating interest through hooks and cliffhangers, pacing, and other elements that make stories come alive on the page.
The aim is to help participants move from an initial idea to a structured, workable manuscript.
Neil D'Silva is a much-published author whose books have been brought out by leading houses such as Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Rupa, Hachette, and Pan Macmillan among others.
