Introduction
After the success of our first-ever virtual Writeathon, we’re back with Chapter 2 – India’s most exciting online writing fest for all kinds of writers: from those drafting their first stories to experienced writers looking to take their work further and build new connections.
This is your chance to connect, create, and compete – all from the comfort of your home.
What is a Virtual Write-a-thon?
Not every writer gets the chance to share their story, meet like-minded people, or get guidance from industry professionals. For many, writing feels like a solo journey.
That’s why Writeathon exists:
- Push creative limits through real-time writing tasks designed for both emerging and seasoned writers
- To build a supportive community where writers connect, share, and grow together.
- Facilitate access to industry insiders, enabling pros to share expertise and newcomers to learn directly.
- To create genuine opportunities for writers to get noticed, pitch their stories, and take the next step in their journey.
- To offer learning experiences through mentor sessions, with insights, feedback, and actionable advice.
All of it, accessible online, so writers from anywhere in India can be part of it.

What to Expect at Writeathon: The Virtual Chapter 2
Connect & Network: Start the day by meeting writers from across India. Through fun icebreakers, dedicated networking sections, and group activities, you’ll find your circle, writers with passion and experience, who might even collaborate with you in the future.
Walkthrough of a Writing Co-Pilot: Get hands-on with VED, Mugafi’s advanced writing tool designed for passionate storytellers. From writing a logline, to developing characters, or structuring a story, VED helps you think like a professional, overcome writer’s block and assist you in writing from the first draft of your story to industry approved scripts. Great stories need sharp tools and you’ll have access to one of the best.
Join the On-the-Spot Writing Challenge: Experience the thrill of writing within a specified timeline. A surprise theme will be revealed during the event, and you’ll have 1.5 hours to craft your story on VED. It’s your chance to test your creativity, focus, and storytelling skills in real time. These activities help you enhance your creativity and think of interesting ideas.
Interact with an Industry Mentor: Get direct insights from a professional screenwriter. This isn’t just another talk, it’s a practical session designed to help you sharpen your storytelling, understand the content industry better, and ask the questions you’ve always had.
Win Rewards & Explore Real Opportunities: Top stories win trophies, curated hampers, and exclusive 1-on-1 sessions with Mugafi’s Creative Team. But more than that, you’ll gain access to development discussions, collaboration possibilities, and a real chance to see your story grow beyond the event.
By the end of the day, you won’t just walk away with a story, you’ll walk away with real insight into how the industry works, what makes stories stand out, and where your voice fits in.
You never know, your story idea might be the one that gets picked for adaptation.
