About Redacta:

​

"Every reader is, by default, a writer."

​

Redacta series of writing events are here to introduce you to the writer hiding in the folds of your brain. 

Following are the events that will be a part of Redacta:

​

​

1. Story Writing Chain:

​

"There's something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you"

​

Nope, this is not your school assignment story writing! This is a group activity that involves writing a story for 2 minutes, passing yours to the person sitting to your right and continuing the story written by the person sitting on your left.

10 people

10 stories

and a whole lotta mess.

Do you need to be a creative story-writer for this activity? Absolutely not!

​

​

 

2. Cover Story:

​

Creativity is intelligence having fun!

In this activity, you'll roam around the bookstalls and pick out the book which you think has an amazing cover. You'll then be writing a flash fiction inspired by the book cover! This simple activity will then prove to you that your imagination has no bounds!

3. WTF Shakespeare:

​

This is your chance to get justice for book/movie/TV characters that you think deserved better. In this activity, you will write a letter ranting to the writer of the story questioning why your character was written in such an unjust manner! Upload your rant on your Instagram story and tag the writer themself!!
