If you want to learn Short Story Writing in Sydney, then this course of 8 classes is for you.

A friendly, casual, interactive course designed to instruct, support and inspire writers in any genre and at any stage from beginner to professional. The objective is to discover and develop each participant’s unique skills and style through a series of structured classes, weekly assignments and perceptive and positive feedback. By the end of the course you’ll have far more fluency, confidence and self-assurance in your writing, plus the satisfaction of having produced a great deal of good work.

Agenda

During this course the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given. Due to the flexible nature of Adult Education classes, parts of the curriculum may be adapted to suit the needs of the class.
The course covers virtually every aspect of writing that can be touched on in just 16 hours, from recommended reading, creativity and concepts through structure, theme and plot to description, dialogue, editing and being published. We’ll also touch on overcoming obstacles like writer’s block.
