Have you always wanted to write but don’t know where to begin? Or are you a poet or dramatist, interested in turning your hand to prose? This is a course for writers interested in getting to grips with the short story form, and learning about its amazing variety and potential.
In a 5-day intensive course, we will explore a wide range of types of story, from Flash Fiction to Novella, looking at some of the best examples of the form, and identifying the skills you need to write your own.
The pattern of the week will be teaching and discussion in the morning, and writing time alongside small-group workshopping and one-to-one tutor feedback in the afternoons. All of this will help you identify the strengths and weaknesses which can make or mar your story. By the end of the week you will not only have completed a draft but also revised it in the light of workshopping and tutor feedback.
Award-winning novelist Jane Rogers has published two collections of short stories, most recently Fire-Ready (2024).
