This course focuses on the short story, the starting line for every writer of prose fiction. The course has been devised for a ten-week duration and each class has a specific area of interest that is exemplified in the reading material for that week. All participants are encouraged to complete a short story over the course of the ten weeks and any work submitted by students is returned with a copy edit and thorough feedback. About the Tutor.
