Short Story Writing

From engaging openings to satisfying closings and everything in between, we will focus on the short story format and how to tell a story that will entice and delight readers.

We will discuss plotting, story arcs, and presenting a principal problem and resolving it. Then, getting down to the nitty gritty, we will work on pacing, dialogue, and setting. Last but not least, we will practice creating the most memorable characters.

Half-day workshops will touch on all topics and full-day workshops will allow participants to leave with a good outline and a clear view of how to complete the story.
