Story from Beginning to End

Write a short story in a weekend, even if you’ve never written one before!

In this clinic, you’ll produce a short story of 1500 words or less, from ideation to completion, with the goal of completing a draft by the end of the clinic, as well as a list of markets you can submit it to. You’ll learn techniques for brainstorming and developing a story idea, setting up a habit of writing, and how to think about your story’s structure. Each session is 4 hours long with a half-hour break for lunch and few other breaks built in. Class materials will be made available in a written format before and during class. All students will be invited to join the Story Kitchen Discord. Classes will meet over Zoom. Recordings of the class will be made accessible to participants after the class, but please don’t share these recordings with anyone else.

Enrollment is limited. If the class is full when you register, please contact us at storykitchenstudio@gmail.com to get on the waitlist!
