In March, I’m teaching another Short Story Intensive.
Through exercises focusing on viewpoint, dialogue, and plot, you’ll learn how to let nothing go to waste. By the end of this three day workshop, participants will be given a writing prompt and complete their own short story.
Classes will be taught via G+ from March 6-8
Each session, you will be given an exercise that builds on the previous session. Classwork will be uploaded to a shared Google Drive folder visible only to you and your classmates. The class will be divided between lecture and group critique. The class is capped at eight students, to create a class size that allows the most interaction, feedback and personal attention for each of you.
Class requirements: You need an interest in writing short stories, but you do not need to have written or published anything yet. You also must be able to use G+ Hangouts (Note: You don’t need a web camera, although they’re useful, but you do need a working microphone, a G+ account, the internet and some speakers so you can hear us).
This is an intensive workshop, so do not plan anything else that weekend.
You have no idea how badly I want to do this 🙂 But taxes come first and your class is filling up quickly. If you ever archive some of the course material and want to sell it, please let me know. I’ve been looking for good short story help since I listened to your Writing Excuses podcast on this!
Speaking of short story seminars, the one in Ferguson was great! Did you ever send out the email of notes and resources that you were talking about? If so, I didn’t receive mine. Thanks!
