The short story from beginning to end: how to hook your reader, sustain interest and bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Through written assignments and the study of published short stories we will examine techniques for portraying character, plot, scene, setting, dialogue and more. Students will share their work with the class and participate in group critiques. We'll wrap up with tips for marketing your short stories.
