SHORT STORY COURSE - Grimsby Minster, February/March 2014

It's taken a while to get together, but things are finally sorted for the first of what I hope will be a series of creative writing courses at Grimsby Minster.   This six week programme is aimed at anyone with an interest in writing short fiction and looks to build on some of the ideas tested in last year's 'story lab' sessions. The focus here will be on participants’ own work. Although writing experience isn’t essential, a commitment to write and read short stories is.   Over the six weeks, I'll introduce various aspects of contemporary short fiction, creative nonfiction and flash fiction through reading, discussion and a range of writing exercises. Each participant will have the option to have their work read and critiqued as part of the course, as well as receiving up to date information on writing competitions and routes towards publication.   The course costs £60 and takes place: Thursday  20 th Feb, 27 th Feb, 6 th March, 13 th M
