Art of the Short Story
Explore the craft of short stories in this one-night class! Whether you’ve started short stories or only have ideas, you’ll learn about the challenges and possibilities that this form offers.
We’ll study brief published examples and practice what we learn through in-class writing exercises. We’ll seek answers to questions like: How can we convey large meaning in a small space? How do we cut to the bone and make every word count? How do we begin, and what shape should our stories take?
Students will walk away with a stronger understanding of the short
story form, plus the tools to craft their own stories.
