This will be a two part workshop that will look at short stories from the idea stage, to the draft and revision stage, to sending them out for publication.

The first session will focus on where story ideas come from and how to get those down in the first draft. The second session will cover the revision process, as well as the submission process as it functions today (using Submittable, for example) and other aids to writing such as the Zoetrope site where writers can get feedback, plus other on-line places where markets are listed, such as Poets & Writers.

This will be a two-part workshop; participants are welcome to take one class or both classes.
