Learning to write - the art of the short story
26/12/2007
Now we're going to discover the ingredients for writing a ripping - but short - yarn. Short stories are sometimes considered the lesser cousin of the novel but short story officiandos say they're actually harder to write. What happens when you add a pinch of character, plot and setting and mix in theme and voice? Is there more to learning to write a short story than this recipe?
Get your pen and notebook ready as we go on a creative writing class and find out what it takes to master the art of the short story.
The Book Show's Sarah L'Estrange took part in a four week writing workshop at the Victorian Writers Centre which was led by writer, David Astle.
