Happy Valentine’s Day! Glad to announce that Ice Creams and Time Machines<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, the Young Author Program Anthology, is out at the Pothi.com Store today. It’s been in the works for a while.<\/p>\n

Last year, I conducted a couple of writing workshops for children in the age bracket of 8-15. The classes were conducted at multiple venues. The children learned the art of weaving plots, creating characters and writing dialogues. The workshop ended in the creation of a piece of fiction with a well-etched character and an interesting plot line.<\/p>\n

Each and every story in the anthology is a labor of love. And it was not just the writing…while some of the workshops were extremely cerebral, some of them were plain and simple fun! Hope to conduct more writing workshops with Pothi.com this year.<\/p>\n

You can purchase a copy of the anthology here<\/a>. Pothi.com and the contributors will donate any proceeds generated from the sales of this book to support a library building campaign via the Donate a Book platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n
