Finding and enrolling in the best creative writing courses in India has been more difficult than I thought. At least it used to be, seven years ago when I had just dived into freelance writing. I wanted to hone my skills and practice fiction writing too, which is when I started looking for creative writing courses online. 

For a while, I even considered getting an MA in creative writing in India. But as many working professionals like me will agree — there is simply not enough time. 

I was initially more inclined towards classroom courses since those would help me get out of the house more (I work from home ) and they would also allow me to network with other writers. But most of the classroom courses I found were either not available in my city or were incredibly expensive. That is why I also started looking at free creative writing courses online.

In this article, I take you through all the top creative writing courses available both as classroom courses and online.

What is creative writing?

Creative writing is any writing where creativity is involved and differs from normal academic, professional, journalistic or technical forms of literature. This form of writing uses imagination and innovation in order to tell a story. It can involve fiction, essays, scripts and poetry. Professional writing courses give you the tools you need to ace creative writing.  

Though constant learning and practicing will improve your creative writing skills. Free online content writing courses with certificates help you reach your writing goals.

For a freelance writer, taking up a creative writing course online can help you hone your skills and also move more towards fiction writing. There are many brands who need storytelling writers and even poets. 

Why enroll in a creative writing course?

There are various learning benefits that you’ll get when you enroll in a creative writing course. Here are the major benefits of taking up an online English writing course as a freelance content writer :

  • Find your own unique writer’s voice
  • An experience of practical learning to gain the skills you need
  • Master different writing styles and techniques
  • Produce great fiction
  • Understand and apply principles of creative writing in stories and poems
  • Become a professional of literary masterpieces in English. You’ll understand how this plays a role in the creation of book or novel writing
  • Write more convincing and captivating plots to hook readers
  • Enhance your vocabulary and hence improve your communication skills
  • Empower yourself as a writer and improve your creativity

Creative writing comes in many forms, and there are a variety of courses that focus on these forms. Here are some of the great creative writing courses available online:

Small Correction : For IGNOU, Its page no 86 in the prospectus and not 80. Thank you for the information.

'  data-srcset=

Thanks Kunal 🙂

'  data-srcset=

I did the DCE from IGNOU in 2002. The notes are pretty basic. The project work gets you to write a lot and that’s a bonus. I wouldn’t mind doing it again if their syllabus has been updated.

I am actually thinking of taking up that course in the summer, will definitely update you when I do

'  data-srcset=

Hey Ritika! Did you take up the course? What is your feedback on this??

No, I did not end up taking any of the above listed courses. I was thinking to take up IGNOU but I heard the curriculum wasn’t good. The only viable option is Symbiosis one but I am not sure if I am willing to put that much money in :/

Thanks for your reply Ritika! I too am on second thoughts about Symbiosis for the very same reason!!

'  data-srcset=

Great compilation of courses with helpful and accurate descriptions! Thank you 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi ritika Plz give ur feedback .I think u should hav completed it now

Hi Jasdeep, I am not doing these courses right now. Though I do recommend, checking out the eBook mentioned above

'  data-srcset=

Interesting post! I have some experience of IGNOU, not in Creative Writing though, and that was like, a century ago and therefore out of date anyways, but my experience was positive all in all. Thanks for visiting my blog and see you after April! 🙂 Stay well.

Thanks for you inputs Nilanjana!

Now I am really inclined to do the IGNOU course. Lets see 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika, Useful post! Elsewhere i could find review about the course at IGNOU, and it wasnt a promising one. The syllabus is outdated and for a year or two the course was not conducted and people who had registered were’nt intimated about updates. Since I am looking for a distance learning program, hence i am left with SCDL, Pune (as only IGNOU and SCDL have distance learning program on Creative Writing). I am looking for a review on its course. Kindly share if you have some review related info about the course. Thanks ! Taruna.

My research led me to the exact same place. IGNOU doesn’t seem worth it

'  data-srcset=

Hi guys, I am pursuing a distance learning course from symbiosis pune on creative writing. It is good and has 6 exams and 6 projects to be completed in a year. It has been interesting and provides insights into creative writer’s lives and many other aspects of writing. It is expensive compared to other courses as mentioned here but I am working so this works for me.

That’s great to hear Rimpy! If it works for you and fits your schedule then there isn’t much you can ask for! Whenever you finish the course, do share your complete experience 🙂

'  data-srcset=

Hi Rimpy , I m planning to pursue creative writing course in symbiosis .. please provide Info regarding modes n types of examination conducted. Its damn expensive so b4 joining wanna know wthr is it worthy .Thank you

I registered for DCE in June with IGNOU in July my classes are only going to start on October :P. They told me that I have to attend 1 class every month in study centre. I also registered with SDCL from there I get a message every day that admission is extended a week more :P. let’s see what will happen NB: I paid ignou fees it’s just 3k. Not having the courage to spend 22k on sdcl at least for now let’s see. will update you.

Yes, I was told the same thing about Study Centre,that I need to attend at least one in a month, which is really difficult for me, considering how much I travel.

Do let me know your experience with IGNOU. In fact, I would love it if you would write a post here on the website about the course experience because it will help A LOT of people 🙂

Hi niyas .Can u plz tell me some details how many study centre they hav and where they are? whats d total fee for 1 year course? howz dere teaching sense?wat technique dey use ?R dey providing good knowledge or jst time pass material.

Hey Ritika I want to improve my command on english writing, will these courses help.

These courses aren’t meant to improve your English, they are meant to improve your writing style

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika Myself Manish Tiwari from Allahabad. I am working as Trainer. i am about to quit my job and i am going to shift Mumbai for writing. New differnt types of ideas comes in my mind and when i start to write then i feel i am missing something

'  data-srcset=

Hi Ritika What i have to do to become a freelance writer.Is there any good center in Kerala or near by Bangalore to study creative English.is creative English course enough to improve writing style?

'  data-srcset=

I don’t think writing starts by learning….for me mostly it’s an idea…a song….or just getting inspired after which everything falls into space

'  data-srcset=

I have registered for DCE with IGNOU. I got a mail specifically informing me to collect study material from IGNOU regional center. I don’t know how this works. Have written a mail to send the materials to me directly. Will keep posted on what happens, so that other aspirants can take an informed decision.

Yes, that’s what I heard from some other sources. The thing with IGNOU is – they don’t really care. They have a way of doing things and they are not flexible. Please let me know how your course goes 🙂

Well, surprise! IGNOU has sent me all the course material through courier. However submitting projects is still unclear. Timeline of the course is a bit vague as well. However all course books are with me. Content looks pretty decent. For all the aspirants out there, I suggest you to go ahead with the diploma in Creative Writing if its impossible for you to attend workshops or classroom certificate courses.

Thanks for all the details Nahusha. Would you like to write a review about the IGNOU course about the website? 🙂

'  data-srcset=

I too planning about pursuing this course. Will it be beneficial plz suggest.

hi Nahusha Can u plz tell me all d details for registration in DCE wid IGNOU . What is the fee structure there? how to pay? how they send us data? is there any exams or just assignments

Fee structure : 3300 Payment can be done by debit card. They will send all material by post. No exams. A project at the end of the course. Every info is available at their site.

'  data-srcset=

I am looking up for an MFA in creative writing which I guess is not worth if done in India. But if you have any idea about the course which would be beneficial if done here itself, do let me know. Because Symbiosis has a distance program which is like, we are just playing in the sands, instead of going in the oceans for much adventure. And being a passionate writer, I also have my blog but the thing is I want to work for some magazines, if you have the answers to any of my above queries please mail me at [email redacted] else awaiting for your reply here itself.

Regards, Indrajeet

I would suggest going the internship way, instead of doing an MFA, if your end goal is to work in a magazine

he hi Rritika thanks for sharing such great info thanks a lot

Thank You Ma’am for all the infos. I m a college stud,I belong to Kolkata, I think it will be useful for me to join British Council rather than any open university am I right? Is a PG degree in Journalism is essential for a freelance writer?

You don’t need a journalism degree to be a freelance writer. Yes, British Council is a great option if you are in Kolkata, just make sure the class timings suit you 🙂

Thank you for such an informative post. I am an aspiring author from LA. Since any kind of education in US is quite expensive I opted for distance learning in India. Admissions are possible for International Students at IGNOU, although the fee varies. I have emailed them about registration process for international students. Having said that my goal is MFA is English, as I like to pursue Creative Writing Diploma at a more modern institute with up-to date techniques in writing. I have taken your advise and enrolled in the course offered by the Michigan state University. Having deprived o the opportunity to choose a field of my liking during college, I like to pursue a cheap yet decent MFA degree. Do you have any suggestions about the Masters degree in English from IGNOU? I have no clue about the curriculum offered. To me all looks good as long as its literature. However, I am not sure if its contemporary. Please advise.

Hey Ritika, How you doing? Well, hope you’re in the best of health at these times. I wanted to ask, if you can help me with this… , that is the Wesleyan University course available for a 15- year – old aspiring writer?

Top 5 Creative Writing Courses in India With Placements

The most effective and most challenging form of writing is one that evokes the emotion of readers and keeps them engaged with your words. the whole process of producing creative content not only ranks you among other writers but also ranks with your own earlier works. hence, we find creative writing, one of the interesting parts of writing. in this article, let us discuss a few creative writing courses in india you must consider, before joining one..

List of best creative writing courses in India

What is Creative Writing?

Writing content that is not professional and formal is considered creative writing. Although writing generally is defined as a channel of expression, it is creative writing that requires more flow of imaginative ideas and a vivid visualizing writing style. Each author holds their own style of writing when it comes to creative writing. There are wide varieties of creative writings. It includes poetry writing, short story writing, novel writing, etc.

Elements of Creative Writing

In order to build your creative writing skill, you need to find if you possess the following elements, and if not, there is always a way to build it with constant practice. Creative writing courses in India are provided by various institutes all over the country. The elements are discussed below:

  • Avid Reader: To be a writer, you should be a reader first. Writers who are creative and imaginative help themselves by reading the works of others. It is a very important trait to possess as a writer. In order to enter a niche, you have to know what is in that niche. And this knowledge can be obtained only when you do read the like books and contents you wish to write.
  • Regularity: Creative writing skills improve with regularity in writing. The more you write, the more ideas you get. That’s the way to keep yourself on your toes without getting worried about the right flow in writing. That’s why there is a saying ‘Practice maketh men’. You should write on a regular basis in order to enhance your ability to produce standard content.
  • Rewrite: Editing is one of the crucial processes of creative writing. Although everything in the first draft sounds very well inked, you should give room for improvement in your writing. This might bring out a better version by adding some new original ideas or saving the irrelevant ideas for your future project. Make a first draft, second draft, and third draft and no matter how many drafts you take to finish a complete piece of your work, I believe in proofreading and rewriting for presenting a very well-polished piece of work.
  • Explain your stand: As an individual person in this world, we all have our own views on things. You should decide whose perspective you are going to put forth. Since creative writing involves poetry, short stories, and novels, in all these genres there are characters you create, mood, place, and the environment you expect to deliver to the readers. If so, you should decide from whose point of view all these emotions and feelings are delivered.
  • Take time to interact with fellow writers: Get some fresh air, by attending workshops and interactive sessions with other writers. The trendy flow of a budding writer and the confident sound of a veteran writer is something you cannot learn from sitting alone in a chair in front of a screen.
  • Explore: Look into multiple topics, and try out new stuff with the mindset of a learner. Learning and gaining knowledge is the only aspect that never becomes old and unuseful. If you are a writer who wants to be a remarkable poet, invest some of your time in learning various forms of poetry. This practice gives you an opportunity to build an open mind and helps you come up with refreshing ideas. Sometimes, this can be a great way to find the niche that you can own.
  • Everything for the readers: Although the works you create are written by you, ultimately the readers are the people who will help you establish your works in society. If no one is going to read your works, then you better save them for your journal. Creative Writers out there! I call you out to carry a resolve that you will either write what people will read or practice writing compelling pieces of work. So, if you know your reader, you can figure out your path.
  • Use Figures of Speech: I call them the tools which enhance the nature of output the words deliver to the reader. The figures of speech include alliteration, metaphor, simile, personification, and other tools you can use in your writing. They can add rich flavors to your content and keeps it vivid to imagine and enjoy reading.
  • Empathy: Having an empathetic heart is a plus for a creative content writer. As a writer, you should be the bridge between the reader and your story. Having such a privilege is given to a writer to help the character in your story communicate with the reader. Practice writing various emotions to find a better way to convey an emotion in your language or style of writing.
  • Accept criticisms: This is one of the important elements you should possess as a writer. When you are open to criticism, you can find the flaws and help yourself to rectify them. This process is nothing but growth. Growth in writing increases when reviews are taken positively not being so skeptical about it.

List of best online creative writing courses in India

Writing is the way to bring thoughts, emotions, and feelings into life with the help of linguistic symbols, arranging words in an understandable, meaningful, and readable form, and sharing your outlook on topics with people. There are many types of writing styles with different purposes targeting different categories of audiences.

The four main types of writing styles are Narrative, Descriptive, Expository, and Persuasive. Along with these writing styles, there are other categories such as Creative Writing, Review Writing, Subjective Writing, Objective Writing, Technical Writing, Academic writing, Legal Writing , Medical Writing, and so on. In this article, we are going to learn about creative writing and its implications in our lives before discussing the online creative writing courses in India.

Creative Writing is the artistic way to break free from the shackles of writing structures or amalgamate the writing styles all together in an astonishingly unique way with a touch of creativity and imagination. One can see the presence of creative writing in various genres of fiction and non-fiction. With a closer look, one can see the fusion of all types of writing styles in creative writing.

Types of Creative Writing

In modern times, the presence of creative writing is visible in a vast area of writing. With the rapidly changing world, the definition of creative writing is also gradually changing and the realm is growing broader. Humans are constantly looking for new content everywhere, be it digitally or in conventional ways.

One must be creative to come up with new ideas to represent and stand out among the crowd. Creative writing resides in any type of writing wherever creativity, observation, and imagination are needed. Typically creative writing is predominantly associated with the prominence of narrative style, plot, structure, and characters in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and poetics using literary tropes. Fiction mainly includes novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and essays where stories are made-up.

Non-fiction includes almost everything such as memoirs , autobiographies, biographies, personal essays, humor, opinion pieces, journalism, history, philosophy, health, religion, spirituality, science, technology, business, economic writings, instructional booklets, educational guidebooks and manuals, textbooks, language books, real-world topics providing facts or actual events based on expository, persuasive, descriptive, and argumentative writing styles.

Creative writing encompasses outside the realm of structural writings such as professional, academic, journalistic, legal, medical, and technical forms and mainly focuses on original composition and authenticity. Therefore not all types of non-fiction fall into the category of creative writing.

A Career in Creative Writing in India

There is a huge demand for creative writers globally with the growing use of social media and digital platforms.

Copywriter, proofreader, scriptwriter, screenwriter, playwright, songwriter, editor, creative content writer, published author, blogger, social media specialist, freelancer, and ghostwriter are the career options one can go for with creative writing skills.

Why Choose a Creative Writing Course?

One must think if it is creative writing, one can easily write automatically and naturally with the gifted talent. But in reality, that’s not the case in work culture. Even when someone is creative and has high imagination power, without the proper skills to execute them professionally is fruitless.

One must understand the demand and purpose of their writing. A huge part is entirely based on readers and the marketing process to reach out to the targeted audience. Creative writers should not be bothered about ranking and marketing, but one must know how to attract more readers and gain publicity.

There has been an increase in public attention as Bangalore continues to prosper. They now have a stronger inclination and passion for creative writing. To communicate a specific idea, feeling, or narrative when writing creatively, you must use your own imagination, creativity, and story.

It is an expressive type of literature. Some inspiring writing examples are novels, poetry, plays, and short tales. In order to produce an original and appealing piece of writing, writers are free to experiment with various storytelling strategies, genres, and themes. In order to learn more, let’s explore more about these content writing courses in Bangalore.

Creative Writing:

Creative writing is a form of writing where the objective is to tell a tale using strong written imagery that have an emotional impact. Poetry, short tales, novels, and other works are examples of this kind of writing. While other type of writing genres typically leaves the reader with facts and information rather than an emotional response but creative writing uses sensations and emotions to help the reader see the story in their mind. To master creativity in writing , one should choose to opt from the best creative writing courses in Bangalore.

Types of Creative Writing:

Creative writing can be classified into two groups. Fiction and Non-Fiction. Let’s have a closer look.

A novel is a fictional work that has between 60,000 and 1,000,000 words. Plot, character, place, theme, storytelling technique, point of view, and other components make up a novel. It tells a drawn-out tale of human experiences, and the characters are complexly portrayed. Novels can be classified as picaresque, epistolary, Gothic, romantic, historical, mythical, mystery, science fiction, realist, horror, or thriller, among other genres.

Short Story

A short tale is a prose fiction work that can be read in one sitting and finish it between 20 and 60 minutes. Short stories often have between 1,000 and 7,500 words, although there is no specific length mentioned. Short stories typically run from 10 to 25 pages, with only a handful approaching novella length.

Anything in literature that is less than 1,000 words is referred to as “short fiction” or “flash fiction,” and anything that is less than 300 words is aptly called “micro fiction.” There are three common subgenres of short stories: lyrical, flash fiction, and vignettes.

Literature that uses structured words that are chosen for its meaning, sound, and rhythm to elicit a certain emotional response or a focused imaginative understanding of experience are called poetry. There are many distinct kinds of poetry, including sonnets, free verse, jingles, limericks, haiku, and others.

Therefore, poetry is a genre of literature that generates an emotional response from the reader by the use of sophisticated language, rhymes, sounds, etc.

Plays/TV scripts and screenplays :

Plays are intended for stages; TV scripts are intended for TV series; and screenplays are intended for motion pictures. These types of writing share many characteristics with novels and stories, such as articulating themes and eliciting emotions.

The main exception is that plays, TV scripts, and screenplays aren’t written with long descriptive sections and are instead performed rather than read. They rely a lot more on dialogues. Each script needs a specific kind of formatting.

Non-Fiction

Literary Journalism:

Literary journalism, often known as narrative journalism, is a subgenre of non-fiction that combines factual reporting with storytelling techniques and other stylistic elements more typically seen in fiction. It is fact-driven and necessitates investigation and frequent, interviews. It creatively epitomizes true events.

A memoir is any nonfiction piece of narrative writing that is based on the author’s own memories. It is therefore believed that the assertions made in the work are true. Memoirs have a strong emphasis on evocatively but unreliably expressing the author’s interpretation of these memories.

A biography is an in-depth information on a person’s life. It reflects a person’s experience of these life events rather than simply listing fundamental facts like education, employment, relationships, and death. The writing of biographies involves extensive research. The subject of the information could be directly interviewed and asked to provide their own assessment of the events in their life as a source of knowledge.

Script writing :

In scriptwriting, in order to write a script, one must record the actions, words, and facial expressions of the characters in screenplay format. The process of writing a script differs greatly from that of writing a novel, a poem, or an essay.

Specific formatting techniques are necessary in order to communicate successfully on the screen. The screenplay structure allows the plot to be visually portrayed. Screenwriters create the scripts for movies, TV shows, video games, and increasingly even web series.

Personal-essay:

The reader frequently has a personal experience with the personal essay because it is based on the writer’s experiences and viewpoints. The narrative driven nature of personal essays is less apparent. The action, on the other hand, is frequently more internal and motivated by thought.

Lyrical essay :

The lyric essay, a relatively recent genre, employs a style of nonfiction prose that is more poetic and condensed. Consequently, it is frequently referred to as a combination of nonfiction and poetry.

Travel-writing :

Nonfiction travel writing can take many diverse forms, from travel guides to blogs, journalism, and memoirs. Regardless of the medium, good travel writing enables the reader to picture and experience a distant environment.

Ai is contentious among authors. so why are some feeding it their own writing.

Chloe Veltman headshot

Chloe Veltman

A robot author.

The vast majority of authors don't use artificial intelligence as part of their creative process — or at least won't admit to it.

Yet according to a recent poll from the writers' advocacy nonprofit The Authors Guild, 13% said they do use AI, for activities like brainstorming character ideas and creating outlines.

The technology is a vexed topic in the literary world. Many authors are concerned about the use of their copyrighted material in generative AI models. At the same time, some are actively using these technologies — even attempting to train AI models on their own works.

These experiments, though limited, are teaching their authors new things about creativity.

Best known as the author of technology and business-oriented non-fiction books like The Long Tail, lately Chris Anderson has been trying his hand at fiction. Anderson is working on his second novel, about drone warfare.

He says he wants to put generative AI technology to the test.

"I wanted to see whether in fact AI can do more than just help me organize my thoughts, but actually start injecting new thoughts," Anderson says.

Anderson says he fed parts of his first novel into an AI writing platform to help him write this new one. The system surprised him by moving his opening scene from a corporate meeting room to a karaoke bar.

Authors push back on the growing number of AI 'scam' books on Amazon

"And I was like, you know? That could work!" Anderson says. "I ended up writing the scene myself. But the idea was the AI's."

Anderson says he didn't use a single actual word the AI platform generated. The sentences were grammatically correct, he says, but fell way short in terms of replicating his writing style. Although he admits to being disappointed, Anderson says ultimately he's OK with having to do some of the heavy lifting himself: "Maybe that's just the universe telling me that writing actually involves the act of writing."

Training an AI model to imitate style

It's very hard for off-the-shelf AI models like GPT and Claude to emulate contemporary literary authors' styles.

The authors NPR talked with say that's because these models are predominantly trained on content scraped from the Internet like news articles, Wikipedia entries and how-to manuals — standard, non-literary prose.

But some authors, like Sasha Stiles , say they have been able to make these systems suit their stylistic needs.

"There are moments where I do ask my machine collaborator to write something and then I use what's come out verbatim," Stiles says.

The poet and AI researcher says she wanted to make the off-the-shelf AI models she'd been experimenting with for years more responsive to her own poetic voice.

So she started customizing them by inputting her finished poems, drafts, and research notes.

"All with the intention to sort of mentor a bespoke poetic alter ego," Stiles says.

She has collaborated with this bespoke poetic alter ego on a variety of projects, including Technelegy (2021), a volume of poetry published by Black Spring Press; and " Repetae: Again, Again ," a multimedia poem created last year for luxury fashion brand Gucci.

Stiles says working with her AI persona has led her to ask questions about whether what she's doing is in fact poetic, and where the line falls between the human and the machine.

"It's been really a provocative thing to be able to use these tools to create poetry," she says.

Potential issues come with these experiments

These types of experiments are also provocative in another way. Authors Guild CEO Mary Rasenberger says she's not opposed to authors training AI models on their own writing.

"If you're using AI to create derivative works of your own work, that is completely acceptable," Rasenberger says.

Thousands of authors urge AI companies to stop using work without permission

Thousands of authors urge AI companies to stop using work without permission

But building an AI system that responds fluently to user prompts requires vast amounts of training data. So the foundational AI models that underpin most of these investigations in literary style may contain copyrighted works.

Rasenberger pointed to the recent wave of lawsuits brought by authors alleging AI companies trained their models on unauthorized copies of articles and books.

"If the output does in fact contain other people's works, that creates real ethical concerns," she says. "Because that you should be getting permission for."

Circumventing ethical problems while being creative

Award-winning speculative fiction writer Ken Liu says he wanted to circumvent these ethical problems, while at the same time creating new aesthetic possibilities using AI.

So the former software engineer and lawyer attempted to train an AI model solely on his own output. He says he fed all of his short stories and novels into the system — and nothing else.

Liu says he knew this approach was doomed to fail.

That's because the entire life's work of any single writer simply doesn't contain enough words to produce a viable so-called large language model.

"I don't care how prolific you are," Liu says. "It's just not going to work."

Liu's AI system built only on his own writing produced predictable results.

"It barely generated any phrases, even," Liu says. "A lot of it was just gibberish."

Yet for Liu, that was the point. He put this gibberish to work in a short story. 50 Things Every AI Working With Humans Should Know , published in Uncanny Magazine in 2020, is a meditation on what it means to be human from the perspective of a machine.

"Dinoted concentration crusch the dead gods," is an example of one line in Liu's story generated by his custom-built AI model. "A man reached the torch for something darker perified it seemed the billboding," is another.

Liu continues to experiment with AI. He says the technology shows promise, but is still very limited. If anything, he says, his experiments have reaffirmed why human art matters.

"So what is the point of experimenting with AIs?" Liu says. "The point for me really is about pushing the boundaries of what is art."

Stormy Daniels, Who Testified About Sex With Trump, Will Return to Stand

The porn star at the center of the ex-president’s criminal trial, who will testify again on Thursday, spoke under oath about their encounter at a golf tournament in 2006, a meeting that could shape American history.

Donald Trump in a courtroom hallway, behind a barrier in a navy suit and gold tie.

By Ben Protess ,  Jonah E. Bromwich ,  Maggie Haberman ,  Michael Rothfeld and Jonathan Swan

When Donald J. Trump met Stormy Daniels, their flirtation seemed fleeting: He was a 60-year-old married mogul at the peak of reality television fame, and she was 27, a Louisiana native raised in poverty and headed to porn-film stardom.

But that chance encounter in Lake Tahoe, Nev., some two decades ago is now at the center of the first criminal trial of an American president, an unprecedented case that could shape the 2024 presidential race.

This week, Ms. Daniels has been on the witness stand telling her side of the story, often in explicit detail. She has already faced five hours of questioning, and after the trial’s midweek hiatus, she is expected to return on Thursday to undergo additional cross-examination from Mr. Trump’s legal team.

The charges against Mr. Trump stem from her story of sex with him during that 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, a story she was shopping a decade later, in the closing days of the presidential campaign. Mr. Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, Michael D. Cohen, paid Ms. Daniels $130,000 in hush money before Election Day, and the former president is accused of falsifying business records to cover up reimbursements for Mr. Cohen.

The Links Between Trump and 3 Hush-Money Deals

Here’s how key figures involved in making hush-money payoffs on behalf of Donald J. Trump are connected.

On Tuesday, Ms. Daniels’s fast-paced testimony lasted nearly five hours, during which she described an encounter with Mr. Trump, now 77, that he has long denied. Tension gripped the courtroom, her voluble testimony filling a heavy silence. She made jokes; they did not land.

After about a half-hour on the stand, she began to unspool intimate details about Mr. Trump, so much so that the judge balked at some of the testimony. He implied it was gratuitously vulgar, and the defense sought a mistrial.

Ms. Daniels said the future president had invited her to dinner inside his palatial Lake Tahoe hotel suite. He answered the door wearing silk pajamas. When he was rude, she playfully spanked him with a rolled-up magazine. And when she asked about his wife, he told her not to worry, saying that they didn’t even sleep in the same room — prompting Mr. Trump to shake his head in disgust and mutter “bullshit” to his lawyers, loud enough that it drew a private rebuke from the judge, who called it “contemptuous.”

Ms. Daniels then recounted the sex itself in graphic detail. It happened, she said, after she returned from the bathroom and found Mr. Trump in his boxer shorts and T-shirt. She tried to leave and he blocked her path, though not, she said, in a threatening manner. The sex was brief, she said, and although she never said no, there was a “power imbalance.”

“I was staring up at the ceiling, wondering how I got there,” she told the jury, adding that Mr. Trump did not wear a condom.

The testimony was an astonishing moment in American political history and a crowning spectacle in a trial full of them: a porn star, across from a former and potentially future president, telling the world what she was once paid to keep quiet about.

Ms. Daniels, 45, has told her story widely — to prosecutors, reporters, her friends, in a book — but never to jurors, and not with Mr. Trump in the room. Her appearance on the stand appeared to unnerve Mr. Trump as she aired his dirty laundry, under oath, in mortifying detail.

But Ms. Daniels’s story is not just a sordid kiss-and-tell tale; it spotlights what prosecutors say was Mr. Trump’s criminality. He is accused of engineering the false business records scheme to cover up all traces of their tryst: the hush money, the repayment to Mr. Cohen and, yes, the sex.

While the defense cast the testimony as a smear, Ms. Daniels provided prosecutors with some useful details. She established the fundamental story of her encounter with Mr. Trump. And she testified that she would have told the same uncomfortable tale in 2016, had she not taken the hush money from Mr. Trump’s fixer.

But her testimony, at times, seemed problematic for the prosecutors who had called her. Ms. Daniels testified that money was not her motivation, and that she wanted to get her story out. That could draw skepticism from jurors, who have heard that she accepted the $130,000 and, in exchange, did not tell her story for more than a year.

“My motivation wasn’t money,” she said. “It was motivated out of fear, not money.”

The jury also saw the judge, Juan M. Merchan, scold Ms. Daniels at least twice, instructing her to stick to the questions asked of her. At one point, he even issued his own objection, interrupting her testimony as she began to describe the sexual position she and Mr. Trump assumed.

Justice Merchan, generally a stoic presence with a tight grip over his courtroom, showed rare exasperation as the testimony veered in a scurrilous direction and the trial took on a circuslike atmosphere.

He also asked Ms. Daniels to slow down. She was a rapid-fire talker, prone to laughter and lengthy asides.

Outside the jury’s presence, the judge said that “there were some things better left unsaid” in her testimony and suggested that Ms. Daniels might have “credibility issues.”

Yet he rejected the defense’s bid for a mistrial, instead inviting Mr. Trump’s lawyers to mount an aggressive questioning of Ms. Daniels.

“The more times this story has changed, the more fodder for cross-examination,” he said.

Susan Necheles, the Trump lawyer who led the cross-examination, heeded the judge’s advice.

She painted Ms. Daniels as a lying opportunist. She unearthed excerpts from Ms. Daniels’s book to suggest that her story had changed over time. And in a potentially troublesome moment for Ms. Daniels, Ms. Necheles implied that she had fabricated an account of a Trump supporter threatening her and her daughter in a Las Vegas parking lot, a story she did not share with her baby’s father.

“Your daughter’s life was in jeopardy, and you did not tell her father, right?” Ms. Necheles asked, the implication being that the story was phony.

Ms. Daniels was indignant. And during some cross-examination, she parried effectively, performing even better than she did with her answers to prosecutors.

Her testimony brought full circle one of the earliest scandals that loomed over Mr. Trump’s presidency. Ever since The Wall Street Journal broke the news six years ago that Mr. Cohen had paid her to keep quiet, her story has changed the course of American politics and laid the groundwork for the case.

Over the years, Ms. Daniels has leaned into her Trump-adjacent fame. She has sold merchandise, filmed a documentary, sat for high-profile interviews and written a book that was so tell-all it included detailed descriptions of the former president’s genitalia. Mr. Trump has also dished out insults that ridiculed her appearance, calling her “horseface.”

But at other times, Ms. Daniels appeared tortured, detailing the personal toll of outsize exposure. Suddenly, she was not just a porn star but a threat to a man who commands the most fervent political movement in modern American history. She told reporters she was inundated by threats from Trump supporters, many of which were graphic. She feared for her family and has divorced her third husband, the father of her daughter.

“I have been just tormented for the last five years or so,” she said in the opening scene of “Stormy,” a documentary about her life that was released on Peacock. “And here I am, I’m still here.”

Ms. Daniels joined the trial at a pivotal moment. On Monday, prosecutors had asked two veterans of the Trump Organization’s accounting department to show jurors the 34 records they say Mr. Trump falsified to conceal his reimbursement of Mr. Cohen for the hush money. Those include 11 invoices, 11 checks and 12 entries in Mr. Trump’s ledger that portrayed the payments as normal legal expenses.

The Donald Trump Indictment, Annotated

The indictment unveiled in April 2023 centers on a hush-money deal with a porn star, but a related document alleges a broader scheme to protect Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign.

In the weeks ahead, Mr. Cohen is expected to take the stand and connect the dots between the salacious details and the substantive documents. On Tuesday, Ms. Daniels’s testimony took jurors through the smuttier elements of the case.

She began by recounting a difficult childhood in Baton Rouge. Her parents split up when she was young, she said.

She wanted to be a veterinarian and was editor of her high school newspaper. Eventually, she began stripping, she says, because she earned more than she did shoveling manure at a horse stable.

By the time she met Mr. Trump at the golf tournament in 2006, she was a player in porn. She was an actress, and would ultimately find her footing as a director and producer.

Asked to identify Mr. Trump in the courtroom, she called him out as the man in a navy suit jacket. Ms. Daniels, dressed in all black and wearing glasses, reduced the singular former president to just another man in the courtroom.

She spent much of her testimony describing that first encounter in Lake Tahoe. When she met Mr. Trump, she knew he was a golfer and the host of the “The Apprentice,” the reality show that revived Mr. Trump’s celebrity for a new generation. In a memorable line, Ms. Daniels said she also knew that he was “as old or older than my father.”

Later that day, she said, Mr. Trump’s aide approached and invited her to dinner. She says he took her number, but that her initial reaction was “eff no,” abbreviating an expletive.

But her publicist encouraged her: “What could possibly go wrong?”

She then transported jurors inside his hotel room, painting the sprawling suite in minute detail, capturing every aspect down to the color of the tiles.

She said Mr. Trump had taken an interest in her business and asked about unions, residuals and health insurance, as well as about testing for sexually transmitted diseases. “He was very interested in how I segued from becoming just a porn star to writing and directing,” she said.

Ms. Daniels said Mr. Trump told her, “You remind me of my daughter. She is smart and blond and beautiful, and people underestimate her as well.”

She recalled going into the bathroom to do her lipstick, where, she said, she noticed gold tweezers and Old Spice.

Later, they stayed in touch, she said. In 2007, they met at Trump Tower in New York, at a Trump Vodka launch party in Los Angeles and at a Beverly Hills hotel — all interactions that appeared to undercut Mr. Trump’s claims that he barely knew her.

The jury was also shown contact logs from Ms. Daniels’s phone and from Mr. Trump’s assistant’s phone showing that they remained in touch. And when they did talk, she said, Mr. Trump had a nickname for her: “honeybunch.”

They have only spoken through lawyers since then, most notably during the hush-money negotiations. When Ms. Necheles accused Ms. Daniels of using that effort to “extort money from President Trump,” Ms. Daniels objected.

“False,” she said.

“That’s what you did, right?” Ms. Necheles persisted.

“False!” Ms. Daniels shouted.
