But Before You Go...

If mastering the art of the short story is a goal to which you aspire, you might want to join us for our upcoming Short Story Lab also beginning May 7th, 2024!

Short storytelling requires a different approach than novels. From foundational practices through to analyzing your work at the word level, with the Short Story Lab you’ll explore the core techniques behind writing saleable short stories that pack a punch.

In this four-week course, you'll learn how to:

- Create memorable characters that resonate with readers.

- Manage effective tension.

- Generate a compelling sense of mood.

- Deliver an ending that truly satisfies.

Whether you’re a veteran writer looking to refine your craft or a newcomer to the world of short stories, our live interactive sessions and wealth of assignments will give you the tools and techniques you need to craft compelling stories that work perfectly within the confines of a shorter format.

Participation in the Short Story Lab will not affect judges’ outlook on your Short Story Challenge entry — but the skills you’ll learn will certainly boost your chances of success!

Interactive writing course, including hours of content, module assignments and live sessions.

Specially selected short story excerpts, helpful prompts, and more.
