SORRY THIS COURSE IS SOLD OUT
Spend your winter Monday afternoons creating new stories, sharing them with the group and getting insightful feedback to help you develop them.
This series of 10 Zoom workshops with Amanda Saint will be:
- From 14.00 – 16.00 UK Time
- Limited to 10 people so that everyone gets focused attention on their work and gets 2 sessions each of detailed feedback.
- Each week we’ll have a focus on a different element of flash fiction and writing prompts to create new flash drafts. Two people each week (on a rotating basis) read one of their stories from the previous prompt for in-depth feedback from the group. A prompt for the first session will be sent in advance.
- At the end of the 10 sessions, everyone can send Amanda 2 stories (up to 1,000 words) for in-depth editorial feedback.
Dates
We start in December and then have a break over the festive period and re-start again in January.
