JANUARY 20, 2024: Short Story Workshop with Art Taylor
Art Taylor - Long Story Short: Efficiency, Economy, Focus.
Short stories are short—but do less words really mean less effort? Ironically, economy and efficiency are sometimes achieved only by extra focus on craft. Edgar Award-winning short story writer Art Taylor will draw on three very short stories—each less than 1000 words—to explore how writers shift their efforts toward character, plot, setting, motif and more to accomplish a lot in small spaces (and regularly let the reader do a little work too).
