The Elements of the Short Story
Whether your story is 500 or 5,000 words, the elements of fiction work a bit differently in short stories than in novels. In this class for beginning and seasoned writers alike, we'll discuss character, voice, and point of view; plot, pacing, and structure; detail and setting; and editing, revision, and titles. Each week you'll learn through discussions, assignments, readings, and prompts, working toward completing a story by the end of class.
