Sign up now! Short Story Workshop almost full

Writers.comWriting the Short Story–Make Your Story Great! is a 10-week online workshop that I teach through Writers.com. A new section of the course begins on Monday, October 8, and there are still a couple of spots left.

I’ve taught this class a number of times before, and for an online class it’s surprisingly lively and engaging. It’s a combination of ten “lectures”–essays on craft that are posted at the beginning of each week, a discussion course where we evaluate published short stories, and a traditional workshop, where as a group we discuss student work and offer suggestions for revisions.

For a detailed outline of what the course covers, go here. And if it appeals to you, follow the instructions there to register. I hope to see you starting Monday.
