Writing Your Light: A Diwali-Inspired Writing Workshop

Sharpen your writing skills with fellow writers in this workshop led by Sonya Singh.

Celebrate Diwali through storytelling. In this interactive writing workshop, author Sonya K. Singh uses themes of light, family, tradition and new beginnings as inspiration for creative writing. Explore memories, traditions and imagination through guided prompts and exercises to create a short piece of writing.

No previous writing experience needed. Just bring your creativity, a pen, notebook or laptop. The workshop is open to everyone, whether Diwali is your tradition or you’re simply interested in exploring storytelling through the festival of lights.
