Fancy giving your writing a New Year kick-start? A shot in the arm to make 2012 your breakthrough year.
Back, as they say, by popular demand, I am running my 6-week online course ‘The Art of the Short Story’ (starting in February), which looks at the following elements:
- A brief history of the short story
- Narrative voice
- Leaving space for the reader
- Characterisation
- Theme
- Language
- Critical analysis and revision
- Structure and unity of effect
- Submitting to competitions/journals
The course is demanding – you will need to devote between four and six hours a week to it – but, of course, this can be done from the comfort of your own home.
Drop me a note if this is something you think you’ll benefit from. More details here, where you can see some endorsements from those who took the course last year.
