YA Got This!
A short-term YA fiction writing course
Hello friends!
I’m back again, and this time, I’m excited to bring you a Young Adult Fiction Writing Course! This will be a short-term course running throughout June 2025, and I’m keeping it small with no more than 6 participants. Registration is open now, and can be done here and I’ll close it as soon as we hit the cap, so don’t wait too long!
What can you expect to learn?
If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at writing YA fiction but didn’t know where to begin, then this course is for you. Over the course of four weeks, we’ll dive into the YA genre and explore the different sub-genres, helping you decide which one resonates with you the most and why.
We’ll also focus on essential aspects of YA writing, like developing strong characters, crafting engaging plots, and finding your unique narrative voice. By the end of this course, you should have a clearer idea of how to move forward with your writing journey.
So, why me?
I’ve been writing YA fiction for quite a while now, starting with my first novel Kite Strings (which I didn’t even realize was YA back then). Since then, many of my novels have either been YA or YA-adjacent, including My Brother’s Wedding, The Tamanna Trilogy, When She Went Away, Mirror Mirror, Scare Walk, and Everything Sucks. And then there’s Asmara’s Summer which was made into Dil, Dosti, Dilemma for Amazon Prime, released in 2024.
More recently, The Henna Start-up, which has been fortunate enough to receive recognition with awards like The Neev Book Award 2024, The Crossword Award 2024, and the Author Awards 2025, has received so much love from readers everywhere—something I’m deeply grateful for.
If, like me, you have a passion for YA fiction (no matter the subgenre), and you’ve ever thought about trying your hand at writing it, then this course is made for you!
