A well-written short story can provide an intense and unforgettable reader experience. How can you achieve the concentrated writing style that the novel requires? The course runs over three Monday nights and is a combination of thematic teaching and text review. We look at examples from different traditions and review each other's texts. Suitable for anyone who has tried or wants to try the short story!
