“A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
The crux of any good short story is sentence construction. If you want to know how to do it well, then this short story workshop is for you.
‘The Art of the Short Story’ is curated for those who want to know more about storytelling, the short story form and how to find their voice.
If you want to build on your idea and create an engaging short story that readers can’t put down, then join us!
You will get to explore your strengths and weaknesses as a writer and work on them in a supportive environment.
The workshop is designed to help you explore your creative side through interesting fiction writing exercises that will expose you to how good dialogues are written, how you can show instead of tell, how you can write an interesting opening line and more.
You will get to analyse short stories closely, you will be able to discuss your favourite short stories and understand why exactly those stories worked for you.
You will receive individual feedback and tips on publishing in online literary magazines in India and abroad.
