Date:

With:

Rashida Murphy

Rating:

EMERGING, ESTABLISHED

Summary:

A short story ought to sustain both attention and imagination – a great short story leads the reader into a world where attention to detail is sustained by economy, complexity and depth. Rashida will guide writers to combine elements of the personal and social imaginary to create layered, nuanced stories. Some visual and word prompts may be provided to explore the links between language and form. There will be targeted feedback for improving your writing. This online course actively encourages sharing of your work with your cohort as well as with the tutor.
