Writing classes (www.writingclasses.com) is an online course and is also based on NY. Their website claims they teach more than 6000 students a year. I have not attended this class. But I have bought the book brought out by this class. It should be a great class, if the book is anything to go by.
IGNOU course is another one. It is a correspondence course offered by Indra Gandhi Open University. I did not find it helpful at all and would not recommend to anyone.
Still Waters is another course I have come across in Bangalore.(not correspondence or virtual classroom but a physical one, if I may say so) I have no idea about the quality of the course. I have come across their name a couple of times in the city hapennings section of news paper. I believe there are few courses like these in other metros like Mumbai and Delhi too. But I don't know any of them.
Finally, it may not be a bad idea to online community portals like www.writing.com where you can find good company while you write.
Have you come across any courses that you think should be on the above list. Write to me or add a comment.

Hi, your article has been very helpful. Thank you for that. I was planning to take up the Creative Writing course. Glad to know about IGNOU and would opt out from choosing this. It would be pretty helpful if you could post your suggestions for Symbiosis as well. I've heard that they offer this course. The programme is much more expensive than the ones offered by other institutes. But I would consider this investment worth enough if the materials and the course would yield good result. Please keep me posted on this. It would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
