تفاصيل الدورة
If you want to write fiction, then short stories are a great place to start. This course will show you how to find ideas, how to put your stories together, and how to submit them to an editor.
You’ll learn the essential elements of short story writing such as plot and structure, dialogue, characterisation, setting, tense, viewpoint, and much more.
Why not give it a try? Sell one short story and the course will more than pay for itself!
We'll look at:
- story openings
- conflict
- using flashback
- creating characters
- writing dialogue
- viewpoint and tense
- settings and description, and
- how to end your story.
You'll be able to download writing exercises, a list of current short story markets (including how much you can expect to be paid), lecture handouts, and short stories.
Towards the end of the course we'll look at one of the most important parts of the writing process - editing. You'll also get tips on proofreading, and how to prepare and submit your manuscript to fiction editors.
And in case you get struck down with it, we'll look at how to overcome writer's block.
The course will be delivered using video lectures, writing exercises, information sheets, stories to read, and a recap quiz.
