Crafting the Short Story
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $60 - $72
In this intensive 4-hour workshop, award winning author and publisher Michael Mirolla will teach you how to write compelling, original and concise short fiction (with skills transferable to longer fiction too). With an eye toward publication, the workshop will examine the fundamental elements of writing a strong short story—from crafting fully rounded characters to introducing conflict in a smooth and believable way. Students will leave with a thorough understanding of what makes a short story effective (or ineffective), an outine for a short story of their own, and various revision techniques that they can use in the future.
