Short Story Workshop | From Start to Submission
Writing a short story is no easier than writing a novel, in fact, it can be more challenging as writers must hone their story across only a few pages rather than a few hundred. This workshop is aimed at intermediate to advanced writers, and will look at brevity in storytelling and efficiency in emotion and plot, ensuring every word and action counts. Using short story examples from classic and contemporary writers, we’ll consider the essential craft elements of short story writing in a workshop environment where each participant will have the opportunity to share their own work and offer considerate and respectful feedback on others.
In this workshop you can expect:
