Narumi (NanaShiningPrincess) from BINUS University, Indonesia who took the Hyperwriting Hideout Class, recently published her first novel `At the End of Rope' (romance, fantasy) about characters and events surrounding the Fericire circus. More details from the publisher's website and Google Play Books. Here is what Narumi has to say about the creative writing course:
`After years of writing, I've finally published my first novel in 2021. While I was writing my first novel, I used some of the guidance I received from Rajat Chaudhuri's HyeperWriting Course. Some of these would include, crafting a story from an idea, and the power of the first sentence and more. Those classes helped me a lot in crafting the whole story idea and in proceeding with thorough research. Thank you so much, Rajat Chaudhuri.

"Under the guidance of Mr. Rajat in his writing class, I've received a broader perspective about literature. His reading materials taught me tips and tricks, different writing styles, as well as unique plot lines that writers have used before. As a person who wants to dive into the world of fiction, I still have technical issues to iron out and an amateur's point of view. However, joining Mr. Rajat's class has helped me engage with different writing problems and has nurtured me into a better writer. I'm forever grateful to Mr. Rajat for being a patient mentor and a great support." ~ Stefanny (Indonesia)
"I've improved a lot since before this course. Rajat had not only given me knowledge about writing but also tips and additional information that helped widen my creative writing horizon. He pushed and pushed his students to be better, his guidance contributed so much. I am glad that I enrolled for this course." ~ V. Febriana (Indonesia)
"I'm very grateful that I have taken the HyperWriting Course. Rajat was really nice and helped me a lot to further develop my short story writing in English. I usually write long fan fiction stories in Indonesian language. I have benefited a lot by taking this course and currently working on a new writing project." ~ Narumi (Indonesia)
"Rajat taught me how to improve my writing skills. He made sure that I understood his material and always offered help. It has been a great time learning with him. He is extremely nice and patient and always pushed and supported me to keep writing. Thank you Rajat for your knowledge and time. Also thank you for helping me improve my writing a lot." ~ B. Rizqia (Indonesia)
"Only when you are writing to be read, you realise that writing is more than "a spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions". It is a skill and one has to understand the technique of writing. This technique was taught to us by Rajat Sir. But he didn't end there. He told us about the different submission opportunities and how to apply to each of them. He even edited my writing pieces and guided me how to evolve as a confident writer and get published in international journals. I'm more than grateful to him. Thank you sir!" - Anupama Bhattacharya (India)
