Got a stubborn character who won't cooperate?
A plot hole you can't figure out?
Questions about the ever-changing publishing landscape?
Bring them all to this open, collaborative workshop
with award-winning author and freelance editor Ekta R. Garg.
This is your chance to get unstuck, connect with fellow writers,
and find real solutions to the challenges keeping you from finishing your project.
Writers at any stage—from first draft to publication—working in any genre.
Whether you write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or screenplays,
if you have writing questions, this workshop is for you.
This isn't a lecture—it's a conversation.
Ekta creates a welcoming, judgment-free space
where writers can ask anything and get practical guidance
from someone who's navigated the writing and publishing journey herself.
Topics might include:
-
Troubleshooting plot problems or character development
-
Navigating the current publishing landscape
-
Understanding genre conventions and market expectations
-
Developing a sustainable writing practice
-
Dealing with writer's block or creative burnout
-
Balancing feedback with your artistic vision
-
Whatever writing questions are keeping you up at night

and notebook for taking notes
