The Short Story

“Thank you so much for a brilliant writing workshop. I learnt so much and it gave me the confidence and belief that I can actually do it—finish a story.”

“The Short Story workshop gave me a lot of insight—from other writers, professional and amateur, and from the instructor. What does a writer want to convey, and what techniques is he or she using? We practiced our newly learned skills by crafting our own stories. In short, a very insightful experience.”

“The highlight of the two days was understanding how much of a craft writing is, versus just putting words on the page (although that’s important too).

I believe I’m getting more and more insight with each workshop, deepening not only my knowledge but awareness of the writing process. It can be overwhelming but it’s also enlightening and empowering—the tools are there!”

“- I learned the main differences between a short story and a novella.

– I learned new techniques for revising my work.

– I internalized some of the techniques needed for developing a good story.

For me, the highlight of the workshop was the inspiring and creative atmosphere. Thanks for all the effort you put into the classes. I had a great time.”
