They are also great practice for longer form narratives many well-known writers cut their first literary teeth on short stories. They are exciting to write, are intensely character-driven and offer the reader tantalising miniature worlds. Short stories are a great way into creative writing they demand discipline, water-tight prose and originality. This course is an excellent introduction to the short story, how to decode the best ones and begin to write your own. To avoid disappointment, please book your place on the course 72 hours prior to its commencement Giovanna was a brilliant and inspiring tutor and I will miss learning from her every week! I also enjoyed having the opportunity to read out my work - as this is something I've not had a chance to do before, and it helped me build confidence in that. I really enjoyed the teaching and having a built-in 20-30 minutes of time for writing with a prompt was really useful for me. I learned something each week and have improved as a writer. This is what this course did really well in a practical hands-on way. A lot of courses bandy this word around but seldom explain it in detail. I learnt many valuable skills, in particular, 'Show and Tell'.
Lucy took the time over 5 weeks to get to know me and my project, to listen, and to understand what I was trying to achieve and gear her feedback accordingly.
