The course is meant primarily for students who have some experience of writing fiction, either in Bangla or English or both and now want to improve their craft. The course, however, will also be helpful to those who haven’t done any fiction writing but feel that they are now ready to begin. It will teach them the basics of writing a story or a novel, beginning with an outline or plot, a narrative structure, a narrative voice, characterization and dialogue, and eventually lead them to more difficult tasks such as mind mapping, conveying emotions and inner turmoil, dealing with conflicts and coincidences and arriving at a satisfactory conclusion.
