| | |  | | Course Name: | Short story writing (UK) - Specialist Course (Outright) | | Course Cost: | £173 (UK price, also payable in easy instalments) | | Course Description: | One of the enjoyable things about short stories is the sheer variety of the markets for which you could be writing; women’s magazines, local newspapers, competitions and festivals, small press magazines. Your course will show you how to research and meet the demands of these markets but first you have to learn the disciplines of short story writing. You need to learn how short stories are structured and what makes them work.
Right through your course you will be working to sharpen your creative skills. So you must start by understanding exactly what creative skills the short story writer needs and at the same time you must be aware of the mistakes that beginners nearly always make, mistakes that make the difference between rejection and acceptance, winning and losing.
You will learn how to: shape your story using construction and pace, start with theme, add your characters and then follow techniques that allow your plot to develop and interweave narrative with dialogue.
First learn the skills, then learn how to adapt them that is the principle your course aims to teach. | |
