Writing Short Stories From Beginning to End
Short stories are meant to transport a reader to a different place over the course of a single sitting. How do you create that mood and tone by building a structure for characters and story that will resonate with audiences? How do you generate ideas to turn almost any idea or concept into a short story?
Bryan Young has published dozens of short stories in anthologies, magazines, and other places and continues to write one a month. Through his course, he’ll guide you through generating ideas, common short story structures, and instructions on sticking the landing of your short story. He’ll also answer your questions to better prepare you for the world of writing short stories—start to finish—that sell.
