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.
