At Starttech Ventures, we’re committed to continuously supporting the development of our team. As part of our efforts to foster creativity and skill-building, we recently launched a Creative Writing Masterclass, guided by the renowned Jordan Koumasidis. This 12-week workshop series, held every Wednesday from September 18 at 17:00 PM for 2 hours, gives our team the opportunity to expand their storytelling abilities, explore literary techniques, and nurture their creative potential.
What’s in it for our team?
Our Creative Writing Workshop is designed to offer both practical techniques and deep insights into the craft of writing. Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect:

- Understand Different Writing Genres: Dive into the unique characteristics of various writing genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more. Learn how to distinguish between them and manipulate their styles to suit your creative goals.
- Explore Literary Theories: Get an introduction to key literary theories that can inspire and enhance your writing. These frameworks will give you fresh perspectives on how to shape your stories and develop your voice as a writer.
