What our clients have to say

"Through Tara';s informative workshop (How to read like a writer) I got a whole new perspective on reading fiction. It was amazing to be exposed to the minute nitty- gritties of a book, the things that I had failed to notice through a lifetime of reading. I would gladly recommend this to both writers and readers, not just newbies but seasoned ones as well."

— Monisha Raman,Freelance content writer,@monisharaman

"The course Read like a Writer with Bound spread over two sessions provided me with valuable insights about how to view books I have enjoyed over the years in a different light. It was fun and engaging and Tara introduced us to some of her favourite books and other reading material as well."

— Priyal Gulati

"I've taken two of Bound's writing classes so far and both have been immensely helpful. The kind of feedback you get is very insightful and also gives you a writing community. One definitely comes out of this class a much improved writer and feeling inspired and driven to continue the writing from where we last left class."
