What's the Story?
The short story can be many things – from moral tale to cosmic metaphor, from a way of voicing urgent political concerns to the quiet posing of an intimate problem. This course will help you make your own short fiction as good as it can be, while exploring other exciting things the form can do. For all those interested in the story.
