I chose SCDL because it`s the only institute providing Creative Writing related course in India. The program has an insightful, rich and resourceful curriculum. It has a good concept of virtual classroom which enabled me to interact with the mentors to get guidance and support. Learning was fun more than a burden with SCDL. My confidence & profile both have been enhanced to greater levels. Moreover, this course took me nearer to my goal of writing a book on anthology and has given me wings to fly towards my dreams.
