At
this year’s South Carolina Book Festival, I had the remarkable opportunity of
teaching a class about writing and submitting short stories.
Since noted short
story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, short
fiction markets have received renewed interest and attention.
I used exercises to
allow my class of thirty students to complete two (very short) stories, one just
six words and the other six sentences.
They produced some amazing results. Here
are pictures from the class. I mentioned a number of print and online journals,
and shared my story structure and submission tracking charts.
