With the deadline for submission, participants are working hard to perfect their stories and poems. As the clock ticks down, here are some last-minute tips to help young writers submit their best work for Katha Utsav 2024: 

1.        Polish Your Opening: The first few lines of your story or poem are crucial. They set the tone and grab the reader’s attention. Make sure your opening is engaging and hooks the reader from the start. 

2.        Check for Clarity: Read your work before submitting it to ensure the narrative is straightforward. Does each paragraph flow logically? Are the characters’ motivations clear? Is the plot easy to understand? 

3.        Revise with Purpose: When revising, focus on improving specific areas of your story. Be intentional with your revisions, whether it’s dialogue, pacing, or character development. Don’t just skim over the story—make meaningful changes. 

4.        Proofread for Grammar and Spelling: Simple errors can distract from a great story. Double-check your submission for typos, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors. A polished piece always leaves a better impression. 

5.        Stay Calm and Confident: It’s normal to feel nervous before submitting, but remember that Katha Utsav is about learning and growing. Take a deep breath, trust in the work you’ve done, and submit with confidence. 

These last-minute tips will help participants submit their best work and feel ready for the next stage of the Katha Utsav experience.
