Synopsis

Short Story Focus

Do you enjoy writing short stories but feel you’re not getting it quite right? Perhaps your opening lacks that necessary spark, or it’s the middle that sags. It might be that you’re not sure how to bring your tale to a satisfying close, or you may be struggling with a range of issues.

Writers Bureau tutor, editor and freelance writer, Esther Chilton teaches you all the ins and outs of short story writing in her second workbook.

These include:

• Hooking your reader at the start
• Ensuring your characters leap from the page
• Which viewpoint and tense to use
• The art of using dialogue
• The importance of tension and obstacles
• How to ‘show, not tell’
• Finishing strongly

You’ll find plenty of examples, tips and writing exercises to try.
