Learn how to write a short story from start to finish with award-winning short story writer Katie Bickell. This course will cover all the elements of crafting a meaningful short story, including character development, narrative arcs, the incorporation of literary devices, how to support story theme, and story editing & revision. The intensive includes in-class activities and is intended for beginner and emerging fiction writers committed to completing a short story outside of classroom teaching time. The seed of a story idea or the vague image of a character you’d like to develop will likely be valuable in the early weeks.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
