Course Description

Overview

As a writer, I write mostly short stories and articles for magazines and in this class I walk you through the steps that I use when I write my short stories. You can use these same steps regardless of where you want to publish your story, whether it's in a magazine or online.

Even though the class is short, I suggest that you take the time after each lesson to do the homework, because then you'll be writing the first draft of your story as you're watching the class. 

You don't need any prior writing experience - just a willingness to put pen to paper;-)
