Short Shrift: Writing the Short Story

Explore the art of fiction by starting with a short story. In this six-week workshop, we’ll write to timed prompts to develop story, generate dynamic characters who overcome obstacles, craft powerful dialogue, apply sensory images, and more. Open to all levels. No experience necessary.

This workshop includes a 15-page manuscript critique by workshop facilitator Barbara Krasner. Barbara is a Pushcart-nominated writer of short fiction. Her short stories have been published in literary journals and anthologies, including Everywhere Stories II and Everywhere Stories III by Press 53, Lilith, Kelsey Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Consequence, Jewish Literary Journal, Jewish Women’s Literary Annual, and others.
