>Writers.com: Writing the Short Story

>

The internet is perfect for online writing courses. One that I teach– Writing the Short Story: Make Your Story Great! kicks off again on September 6. We always have a lot of fun in this class. Not only do we take another look at the fundamentals of fiction–every writer sees this differently–but we also read and discuss some classic short stories and do some writing exercises that illustrate the point under discussion. And, on top of that, we critique stories submitted by the participants. There’s a lot packed into this 10-week course.  Start date is September 6. Sign-up now to secure a place in the class.
