EXPERIMENTAL FICTION WRITING WORKSHOP

The experimental fiction class was so much fun. I found out there's so much that can be done with fiction beyond the conventional rules. Michelle had quirky prompts for us that played with various aspects of writing and brought out sides of our writing that we didn't even know existed. I'd really recommend this class to push your boundaries as a writer and explore different perspectives on fiction.

The experimental fiction workshop really stood out as we explored different techniques and styles that break the conventional and standard rules of writing fiction. It was so interesting to get other writers’ perspectives on the bizarre ways language can be twisted and represented to make it both innovative and appealing. Thanks to Michelle whose mentoring during the session made it so interactive and enjoyable! Would recommend this workshop to anyone who’s trying to explore their distinctive style of writing!

I would like to begin by saying how much I enjoyed all your sessions. The experimental writing workshop was the icing on the cake! I absolutely loved it. It was so much fun- testing our creative boundaries. And I never realized there were so many books that were written in so many different ways. Thanks for introducing us to them.

The experimental fiction workshop nudged me to step out of my comfort zones and explore varying narrative voices, most of them different from my natural style. It was fun to play and twist sentence structure, grammar, pov, and just let go of expectations. The exercises unlocked some brilliant ideas not only in my writing but (I dare say) also in the other writers at the workshop. I recommend the session to anyone looking to expand their range of writing.

The experimental writing workshop was extremely well-planned and executed. It was evident that Michelle really cared about this style of writing, and that in turn got me interested as well. The idea of molding a language - with its rules, constraints, and structure - to suit your voice is intriguing, and the texts that she chose for this resonated with the class. Personally, it showed me the craft in a different, more playful setting which has also helped me adopt a different perspective for when I sit down to write. I would definitely recommend this workshop to those who wish to explore the idea of writing - be it for themselves or otherwise.

Usually, we don't worry or even think about different writing styles, or genres, or formats. Michelle's workshop was excellent for breaking down this notion without overwhelming anyone with the myriad possibilities that one can explore through experimenting with writing. This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to test their limits (or limitless-ness) as a writer.

Thanks for the superb workshop, Michelle. I got to know a lot of experimental fiction writers through your sessions and enjoyed reading and discussing excerpts of their work. I liked the hands-on nature of the workshop with writing prompts and time to discuss the same. I’m glad I signed up for this!

Thanks a lot, Michelle and Bound. As always, wonderful sessions. An excellent mentor and peer group. Lots of experimental works were discussed and we worked on a number of prompts. Inspires me to break-the-mould in the writings that I do. Also got to know well- known authors in the literary world that I was unaware of. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping me do the same 🙂
