The Power of Prose: Writing and Healing in the Time of COVID

HarperCollins India  and  Avid Learning  present The Power of Prose: Writing and Healing in the Time of COVID – an illuminating live session with  Bestselling  Author  Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi  in conversation with Writer, Consultant and former EIC, Harper's Bazaar India  Nonita Kalra.

In this session, Siddharth will draw from his new book, Loss, and a selection of his other writings to highlight the power of writing about personal life experience to confront, recover and spread the message of healing beyond the self. In conversation with Nonita, they will together delve into the various techniques and creative approaches aspiring writers can use to weave a story around loss, to create a tapestry of hope from grief and to spin a safety-net of healing for both writer and reader. They will examine the fundamentals, as well as the finer creative and prosodic nuances involved in capturing moments of personal experience poignantly and in a relatable way. Using examples of differing kinds of writing- poetry, prose, episodic & essay writing and more- they will explore how these varied formats serve to give voice to emotion and can help with the cathartic process of writing as well as the act of reading to heal, or, bibliotherapy. 

Join us for insights on this poignant topic from one of India’s most beloved contemporary writers and one of the media world’s most impactful influencers.
