A short story is a literary fragment. It’s a simulation that immerses you right there. It allows you to explore the arteries of human existence through the mimetic capacity of fiction. The power of a good short story is in its flexibility, its immediacy, its intensity, its undecidability—how it leaves you to uncover its meaning.
In this online feedback clinic that runs over five months, award-winning author Eugen Bacon will offer you feedback on your short story, enabling you to hone your work with believable worlds and robust characters in the kind of story people will remember because of how it makes them feel.
You will learn:
- Hooks your audience
- Hosts engaging characters
- Converses with the reader in credible dialogue
- Leverages on the power of the short story.
