• Written by: Ritika Tiwari
• Last updated on: January 22, 2023

Finding and enrolling in the best creative writing courses in India has been more difficult than I thought. At least it used to be, seven years ago when I had just dived into freelance writing. I wanted to hone my skills and practice fiction writing too, which is when I started looking for creative writing courses online. 

For a while, I even considered getting an MA in creative writing in India. But as many working professionals like me will agree — there is simply not enough time. 

I was initially more inclined towards classroom courses since those would help me get out of the house more (I work from home ) and they would also allow me to network with other writers. But most of the classroom courses I found were either not available in my city or were incredibly expensive. That is why I also started looking at free creative writing courses online.

In this article, I take you through all the top creative writing courses available both as classroom courses and online.

What is creative writing?

Creative writing is any writing where creativity is involved and differs from normal academic, professional, journalistic or technical forms of literature. This form of writing uses imagination and innovation in order to tell a story. It can involve fiction, essays, scripts and poetry. Professional writing courses give you the tools you need to ace creative writing.  

Though constant learning and practicing will improve your creative writing skills. Free online content writing courses with certificates help you reach your writing goals.

For a freelance writer, taking up a creative writing course online can help you hone your skills and also move more towards fiction writing. There are many brands who need storytelling writers and even poets. 

Why enroll in a creative writing course?

There are various learning benefits that you’ll get when you enroll in a creative writing course. Here are the major benefits of taking up an online English writing course as a freelance content writer :

• Find your own unique writer’s voice

• Master different writing styles and techniques

Small Correction : For IGNOU, Its page no 86 in the prospectus and not 80. Thank you for the information.

Thanks Kunal 🙂

I did the DCE from IGNOU in 2002. The notes are pretty basic. The project work gets you to write a lot and that’s a bonus. I wouldn’t mind doing it again if their syllabus has been updated.

I am actually thinking of taking up that course in the summer, will definitely update you when I do

Hey Ritika! Did you take up the course? What is your feedback on this??

No, I did not end up taking any of the above listed courses. I was thinking to take up IGNOU but I heard the curriculum wasn’t good. The only viable option is Symbiosis one but I am not sure if I am willing to put that much money in :/

Thanks for your reply Ritika! I too am on second thoughts about Symbiosis for the very same reason!!

Great compilation of courses with helpful and accurate descriptions! Thank you 🙂

Hi ritika Plz give ur feedback .I think u should hav completed it now

Hi Jasdeep, I am not doing these courses right now. Though I do recommend, checking out the eBook mentioned above

Interesting post! I have some experience of IGNOU, not in Creative Writing though, and that was like, a century ago and therefore out of date anyways, but my experience was positive all in all. Thanks for visiting my blog and see you after April! 🙂 Stay well.

Thanks for you inputs Nilanjana!

Now I am really inclined to do the IGNOU course. Lets see 🙂

Hi Ritika, Useful post! Elsewhere i could find review about the course at IGNOU, and it wasnt a promising one. The syllabus is outdated and for a year or two the course was not conducted and people who had registered were’nt intimated about updates. Since I am looking for a distance learning program, hence i am left with SCDL, Pune (as only IGNOU and SCDL have distance learning program on Creative Writing). I am looking for a review on its course. Kindly share if you have some review related info about the course. Thanks ! Taruna.

My research led me to the exact same place. IGNOU doesn’t seem worth it

Hi guys, I am pursuing a distance learning course from symbiosis pune on creative writing. It is good and has 6 exams and 6 projects to be completed in a year. It has been interesting and provides insights into creative writer’s lives and many other aspects of writing. It is expensive compared to other courses as mentioned here but I am working so this works for me.

That’s great to hear Rimpy! If it works for you and fits your schedule then there isn’t much you can ask for! Whenever you finish the course, do share your complete experience 🙂

Hi Rimpy , I m planning to pursue creative writing course in symbiosis .. please provide Info regarding modes n types of examination conducted. Its damn expensive so b4 joining wanna know wthr is it worthy .Thank you

I registered for DCE in June with IGNOU in July my classes are only going to start on October :P. They told me that I have to attend 1 class every month in study centre. I also registered with SDCL from there I get a message every day that admission is extended a week more :P. let’s see what will happen NB: I paid ignou fees it’s just 3k. Not having the courage to spend 22k on sdcl at least for now let’s see. will update you.

Yes, I was told the same thing about Study Centre,that I need to attend at least one in a month, which is really difficult for me, considering how much I travel.

Do let me know your experience with IGNOU. In fact, I would love it if you would write a post here on the website about the course experience because it will help A LOT of people 🙂

Hi niyas .Can u plz tell me some details how many study centre they hav and where they are? whats d total fee for 1 year course? howz dere teaching sense?wat technique dey use ?R dey providing good knowledge or jst time pass material.

Hey Ritika I want to improve my command on english writing, will these courses help.

These courses aren’t meant to improve your English, they are meant to improve your writing style

Hi Ritika Myself Manish Tiwari from Allahabad. I am working as Trainer. i am about to quit my job and i am going to shift Mumbai for writing. New differnt types of ideas comes in my mind and when i start to write then i feel i am missing something

Hi Ritika What i have to do to become a freelance writer.Is there any good center in Kerala or near by Bangalore to study creative English.is creative English course enough to improve writing style?

I don’t think writing starts by learning….for me mostly it’s an idea…a song….or just getting inspired after which everything falls into space

I have registered for DCE with IGNOU. I got a mail specifically informing me to collect study material from IGNOU regional center. I don’t know how this works. Have written a mail to send the materials to me directly. Will keep posted on what happens, so that other aspirants can take an informed decision.

Yes, that’s what I heard from some other sources. The thing with IGNOU is – they don’t really care. They have a way of doing things and they are not flexible. Please let me know how your course goes 🙂

Well, surprise! IGNOU has sent me all the course material through courier. However submitting projects is still unclear. Timeline of the course is a bit vague as well. However all course books are with me. Content looks pretty decent. For all the aspirants out there, I suggest you to go ahead with the diploma in Creative Writing if its impossible for you to attend workshops or classroom certificate courses.

Thanks for all the details Nahusha. Would you like to write a review about the IGNOU course about the website? 🙂

I too planning about pursuing this course. Will it be beneficial plz suggest.

hi Nahusha Can u plz tell me all d details for registration in DCE wid IGNOU . What is the fee structure there? how to pay? how they send us data? is there any exams or just assignments

Fee structure : 3300 Payment can be done by debit card. They will send all material by post. No exams. A project at the end of the course. Every info is available at their site.

I am looking up for an MFA in creative writing which I guess is not worth if done in India. But if you have any idea about the course which would be beneficial if done here itself, do let me know. Because Symbiosis has a distance program which is like, we are just playing in the sands, instead of going in the oceans for much adventure. And being a passionate writer, I also have my blog but the thing is I want to work for some magazines, if you have the answers to any of my above queries please mail me at [email redacted] else awaiting for your reply here itself.

Regards, Indrajeet

I would suggest going the internship way, instead of doing an MFA, if your end goal is to work in a magazine

he hi Rritika thanks for sharing such great info thanks a lot

Thank You Ma’am for all the infos. I m a college stud,I belong to Kolkata, I think it will be useful for me to join British Council rather than any open university am I right? Is a PG degree in Journalism is essential for a freelance writer?

You don’t need a journalism degree to be a freelance writer. Yes, British Council is a great option if you are in Kolkata, just make sure the class timings suit you 🙂

Hi, Ritika Mam, I am from Mumbai and my passion is to Write Stories & Poems in Marathi Language, and i want your advice that from where should i got a proper guidance to grew up in this concern field. Thank You.

Hi, Ritika, I am from Delhi and i want to do creative writing courses. But am not sure is that helpful for me or not?? Actually am from science background and detouch from education line past 12-13 years. Can u please suggest something??

Hey! Ritika ma’am , I have been working in the profile of english instructor and verbal ability trainer since 3 yrs and also persuing masters in english from SHIATS ALLAHABAD but now i want to take a leap and want to do some good writing couse and want to work as a freelance content writer work from home…..but i don’t know how to start please provide me a road map for this….thanking you….

British Council , Delhi does have creative writing during the weekends too

Have they started the weekend classes? Can you give me their official link to this so that I can update the article to help others?

I have tried the IGNOU course. The course material is totally outdated. The teaching at the study centre also is not up-to the mark. Dies anyone know about the symbiosis course?

I have done one course from Symbiosis (SCDL), syllabus is really updated but it didn’t helped me out as I found myself without guidance. I will rather suggest opt for the course where classes are held at least you can have a coach to guide you further.

Very very useful info. Thank you so much!

Hello Ritika, I read your article on the various courses for creative writing…like you even I m kind of bored of my corporate job and want to pursue my passion in blogging and creative writing. Since it’s not possible for me to read and learn I need a institute which provides such courses. Can you recommend ?

Hello thank you so much for this. This was really helpful but do any of these provide online creative writing courses? Does SACAC provide those courses?

Do we have fellowship programme for Creative writing in india.

Hi Ritika, Mrinali here from Delhi. I loved your article and want to thank you for it. I am a blogger on social issues, which are covered by social media very weirdly, un-researched manner. With an intention to reorient the coverage, I started a blog site THE YOUNG EAGLE. Please find time to visit my site on FB.

How is IIM SKILLS Courses in Content Writing?

Thank you for such an informative post. I am an aspiring author from LA. Since any kind of education in US is quite expensive I opted for distance learning in India. Admissions are possible for International Students at IGNOU, although the fee varies. I have emailed them about registration process for international students. Having said that my goal is MFA is English, as I like to pursue Creative Writing Diploma at a more modern institute with up-to date techniques in writing. I have taken your advise and enrolled in the course offered by the Michigan state University. Having deprived o the opportunity to choose a field of my liking during college, I like to pursue a cheap yet decent MFA degree. Do you have any suggestions about the Masters degree in English from IGNOU? I have no clue about the curriculum offered. To me all looks good as long as its literature. However, I am not sure if its contemporary. Please advise.

Hey Ritika, How you doing? Well, hope you’re in the best of health at these times. I wanted to ask, if you can help me with this… , that is the Wesleyan University course available for a 15- year – old aspiring writer?

There has been an increase in public attention as Bangalore continues to prosper. They now have a stronger inclination and passion for creative writing. To communicate a specific idea, feeling, or narrative when writing creatively, you must use your own imagination, creativity, and story.

It is an expressive type of literature. Some inspiring writing examples are novels, poetry, plays, and short tales. In order to produce an original and appealing piece of writing, writers are free to experiment with various storytelling strategies, genres, and themes. In order to learn more, let’s explore more about these content writing courses in Bangalore.

Creative Writing:

Creative writing is a form of writing where the objective is to tell a tale using strong written imagery that have an emotional impact. Poetry, short tales, novels, and other works are examples of this kind of writing. While other type of writing genres typically leaves the reader with facts and information rather than an emotional response but creative writing uses sensations and emotions to help the reader see the story in their mind. To master creativity in writing , one should choose to opt from the best creative writing courses in Bangalore.

Types of Creative Writing:

Creative writing can be classified into two groups. Fiction and Non-Fiction. Let’s have a closer look.

A novel is a fictional work that has between 60,000 and 1,000,000 words. Plot, character, place, theme, storytelling technique, point of view, and other components make up a novel. It tells a drawn-out tale of human experiences, and the characters are complexly portrayed. Novels can be classified as picaresque, epistolary, Gothic, romantic, historical, mythical, mystery, science fiction, realist, horror, or thriller, among other genres.

Short Story

A short tale is a prose fiction work that can be read in one sitting and finish it between 20 and 60 minutes. Short stories often have between 1,000 and 7,500 words, although there is no specific length mentioned. Short stories typically run from 10 to 25 pages, with only a handful approaching novella length.

Anything in literature that is less than 1,000 words is referred to as “short fiction” or “flash fiction,” and anything that is less than 300 words is aptly called “micro fiction.” There are three common subgenres of short stories: lyrical, flash fiction, and vignettes.

Literature that uses structured words that are chosen for its meaning, sound, and rhythm to elicit a certain emotional response or a focused imaginative understanding of experience are called poetry. There are many distinct kinds of poetry, including sonnets, free verse, jingles, limericks, haiku, and others.

Therefore, poetry is a genre of literature that generates an emotional response from the reader by the use of sophisticated language, rhymes, sounds, etc.

Plays/TV scripts and screenplays :

Plays are intended for stages; TV scripts are intended for TV series; and screenplays are intended for motion pictures. These types of writing share many characteristics with novels and stories, such as articulating themes and eliciting emotions.

The main exception is that plays, TV scripts, and screenplays aren’t written with long descriptive sections and are instead performed rather than read. They rely a lot more on dialogues. Each script needs a specific kind of formatting.

Non-Fiction

Literary Journalism:

Literary journalism, often known as narrative journalism, is a subgenre of non-fiction that combines factual reporting with storytelling techniques and other stylistic elements more typically seen in fiction. It is fact-driven and necessitates investigation and frequent, interviews. It creatively epitomizes true events.

A memoir is any nonfiction piece of narrative writing that is based on the author’s own memories. It is therefore believed that the assertions made in the work are true. Memoirs have a strong emphasis on evocatively but unreliably expressing the author’s interpretation of these memories.

A biography is an in-depth information on a person’s life. It reflects a person’s experience of these life events rather than simply listing fundamental facts like education, employment, relationships, and death. The writing of biographies involves extensive research. The subject of the information could be directly interviewed and asked to provide their own assessment of the events in their life as a source of knowledge.

Script writing :

In scriptwriting, in order to write a script, one must record the actions, words, and facial expressions of the characters in screenplay format. The process of writing a script differs greatly from that of writing a novel, a poem, or an essay.

Specific formatting techniques are necessary in order to communicate successfully on the screen. The screenplay structure allows the plot to be visually portrayed. Screenwriters create the scripts for movies, TV shows, video games, and increasingly even web series.

Personal-essay:

The reader frequently has a personal experience with the personal essay because it is based on the writer’s experiences and viewpoints. The narrative driven nature of personal essays is less apparent. The action, on the other hand, is frequently more internal and motivated by thought.

Lyrical essay :

The lyric essay, a relatively recent genre, employs a style of nonfiction prose that is more poetic and condensed. Consequently, it is frequently referred to as a combination of nonfiction and poetry.

Travel-writing :

Nonfiction travel writing can take many diverse forms, from travel guides to blogs, journalism, and memoirs. Regardless of the medium, good travel writing enables the reader to picture and experience a distant environment.

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” ~ Sylvia Plath

Creative writing is writing about one’s thoughts, imagination, and ideas that come to our mind. But one should also know about the right platform where these should be expressed. Creative writing is defined as a narrative craft in creating a setting, building a plot, developing characters, and constructing a whole story. It can connect emotions and make us understand genres and subgenres.

One of the best authors of all time, Rabindranath Tagore was from Kolkata. He was the only Bengali writer who got the Nobel prize. He won the prize for his collection of poetry in ‘Gitanjali’. His famous words were, ‘You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
