Writing & Teaching

Weekly Writing

Every Thursday, Nilofer shares a free piece of writing with her subscribers—often accompanied by a behind-the-scenes look at how a piece came to be. Her work offers both inspiration and companionship for others on the writing path.


Creative Toolkit: Turning Sparks into Stories

Beginning in June 2025, Nilofer will launch a weekly series for paid subscribers called Turning Sparks into Stories—a creative writing toolkit designed to support writers at any stage of their journey.

Each Friday, subscribers receive a themed toolkit featuring:

  • One-line prompts

  • Reflection exercises

  • Meditations for writers

  • Practical tools to transform sparks of inspiration into personal essays, stories, and poetry

The series follows a 5-week rotation, guiding writers through different aspects of the creative process to help build a sustainable and meaningful writing practice.
