What is a short story and how do you start writing one?
Join WHQ’s Sarah Lewis for the opening masterclass of the Write A Short Story Festival for a whistlestop tour of what short stories are and aren’t, how to generate ideas, and how to get started on a brand new story.
Come to all the workshops and write a brand new story in March, or dip in and out depending on where you are with your story.
About the Write A Short Story Festival
Join Sarah, Team WHQ and a specially curated gang of super awesome, award-winning short story writers for a month of short story workshops, masterclasses and write-a-longs designed to get you writing or to elevate your craft from good to great.
Throughout March, the Writers’ HQ Write A Short Story Festival will give you the opportunity to explore everything you need to know about the short form, from starting, middling and ending. We’ll go deep into the craft of short story writing and finish the month by finding out how to submit your work to lit mags and publishers. .
You can start at the beginning and write a story alongside other festival writers, or you can drop in and out depending on where you are with your writing.
Plus, through regular write-a-longs we’ll help you stay on track and build a writing practice that fits into your life and goals.
Also! The best writing community this side of the internet. Aww yeah! It’s gonna be a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
