>Writing the Short Story: Make Your Story Great!

>

A new section of my online course in writing the short story begins in January: Writing the Short Story: Make Your Story Great!. Sign up now to ensure your place in the class.

This is a combination lecture and workshop class that previous students have found very useful. (Check the student testimonials – scroll down.) Not only will we discuss the fundamentals of short story writing, we’ll study examples from the masters and we’ll conduct weekly writing exercises for practice. The workshop portion of the class allows all participants to receive class critiques of one twenty-page story AND a revision of that story.

I’ve also got sections of a more advanced story workshop and a unique course in how to publish short stories–both beginning early in the new year.
