Kishan Bhatt
2019 Graduate
"Tattva offered me guided discipline. For years, I was thinking about writing on Politics, but I never found the time, confidence or support. And now, I've written my first book and already preparing for my second."
Tejal Pankhania
2018 Graduate
"What I found remarkable about the process was that I managed to produce five pieces of literature in just 16 weeks. This is something I could never imagine doing on my own"
Paven Sharma
2017 Graduate
"Tattva not only allowed me to write with full clarity and confidence but also enabled me to embrace my contrarian views as part of my ongoing learning"

Programme Features
4 energetic workshop weekends, spread over the 5 month period, full of practical skills, as well as opportunities to network and collaborate.
Workshops
The art of mentorship is to recognise a spark of interest, a small ember of ambition, and kindle it to the point where it can go on to reach its full, glowing potential. We do this by entrenching mentoring relationships from the very beginning.
Mentoring
Plenty of resources to guide writers through the various forms of writing.
Toolkits
Creativity is hard when done alone. That's why we invest in one another's journeys. By engaging with the programme, participants will gain access to a wider network of authors and who actively help one-another.
Network
Getting ideas to the marketplace by helping authors to pitch and develop their public personas.
