Online Short Story Lab
An interactive writing course with Julie Chevalier |
A lab
where writers can experiment, explore the short story form, work on
their own short story and receive detailed feedback on tehir writing.
This course is suitable for anyone who is interested in
contemporary writing (except speculative fiction) and has reliable
e-mail. It fills the gap between working through exercises in a book
(although text books and short fiction will be recommended and referred
to) and working with a mentor. It enables people who are unable to
access courses and workshops because of isolation, time or distance to
receive personal feedback.
Email scwc@1earth.net to receive more details about the course.
