Writing a short story is no easier than writing a novel, in fact, it can be more challenging as writers must hone their story across only a few pages rather than a few hundred. Over five days this summer, we will explore brevity in storytelling and efficiency in emotion and plot, ensuring every word and action counts. Using examples from classic and contemporary writers, we’ll consider the essential craft elements of short story writing in a workshop environment, where each participant will have the opportunity to share their work and offer considerate feedback on others.
