About this course

Do you want to write short stories but don’t know where to start? Or have you been writing short stories for a while yet would appreciate a helping hand?

This course is a relaxed exploration of short stories, including writing practice.

The course includes finding story ideas and creating characters as well as how to structure and develop your short stories.

We will also examine techniques used in published texts and use this to inspire new writing. The class will be about encouragement and sharing, and there will be opportunities to give and receive feedback.

Resources required for this course:

Pen and paper or alternatively, a portable device to write your stories on.
