Writing short stories is a great way to break into writing. And there’s a huge market today for short stories of all kinds, from literary fiction to sci-fi, horror, and more.
Whether you want to write fictional stories or real-life stories, there are some important elements to include that make a story work well and resonate with readers. This course will cover those elements, help writers get started writing right away, and help them put into practice everything we discuss. Each week we will cover some key principles in short story writing and do some writing practice, and students will have a chance to share their work and receive feedback. This class is for anyone who loves to write, dreams of writing and hasn’t gotten started, or has enjoyed writing in the past and wants to return to it. Seasoned and new writers alike can enjoy sharing their work and learning from one another.
