Ten Tales with BTB
A Guided Writing Journey. Tell stories that feel like home.
Ten Tales with BTB is a 10-week, guided writing program created by Beneath The Blueprint for students who want to explore narrative storytelling rooted in Nepali life. Each week, you'll write one narrative-style piece. Not academic. Not formal. Just real, reflective writing grounded in experience.
You don't need to be a 'writer.' You just need to care about the stories you want to tell.
What You'll Do
Over the course of 10 weeks, each participant will write one story per week, guided by prompts, examples, and support from the BTB team.
From quiet memories and hometown stories to conversations that changed you and spaces that made you feel something, you'll explore different themes each week. The goal isn't perfection. It's honesty, presence, and connection.
You can either write on themes we provide or suggest your own based on your personal experiences.
What You'll Receive
• Weekly Story Prompts & Support
We'll guide you with theme-based prompts and help you build your story, every step of the way.
• Publication on Our Platform
All your stories will be published on Beneath The Blueprint's website with your name and author credit.
• Personalized Feedback
Our team will provide gentle, helpful feedback to help you improve and feel more confident in your voice.
• Completion Certificate
Once you've submitted all 10 stories, you'll receive an official certificate recognizing your work and growth.

Why We're Doing This
At Beneath The Blueprint, we believe stories shape culture. But too often, stories from everyday Nepali life, especially the quiet and ordinary ones, go untold. We started this program to change that.
Our goal is to help young voices step into storytelling in a way that's emotional, place-based, and true. This program is about building that space – one week, one memory, one story at a time.
If you have questions or want to learn more before applying, feel free to reach out to us at editorial@beneaththeblueprint.com and we'll get back to you.
We're excited to write with you.
