    Thank you Keekli!!!

  3. Thank you team keekli for organising such a wonderful mentoring sessions and for enriching our knowledge in all the aspects of writing and publishing. 🙏

  4. Thankyou Team Keekli. Thankyou Mentors. It was a blessed journey of writing and then editing our own stories. We felt as if our small habit of listening and telling bed time Stories has opened a door for us that will cultivate a good writer in us and will always encourage us to read more and writing more. 💝

  5. Keekli provided me an excellent opportunity to publish a story written by me. I am an avid reader and wanted to develop my story writing skills. Keekli organized four zoom sessions with well known writers. I learned a lot from these sessions. Keekli also helped me to edit and improve my story by giving individual feedback on it. These things are not taught in school or other forums.

  6. Thanks to the Keekli team for giving me such a platform and organising sessions to build skills for writing that will help me in future too. Now, I am eagerly waiting to see my name in a book. This is like a dream come true for me.
