This is a four session, in-person short story course running from January to March 2024. Over the course of the four sessions, we will discuss work you have already written, with a focus on how to edit and improve your words in a way that retains your artistic integrity and individual voice.
We will consider how your short stories can become a collection and work together to identify any gaps or areas for consideration. Alongside this writing focus, you will also be given advice and insight into submitting your short stories to agents and publishers, as well as a final session with peer and tutor feedback.
