As an advanced writer, you already know the basics — how to create engaging characters, develop a plot, and set the scene. But this book is designed to take your skills to the next level.
What You’ll Learn
Crafting a short story isn’t only throwing words on paper — it’s a skill where every word has to be perfect, and every line has to hit hard. It has a mix of being intelligent and informed, creative, and getting right into your feelings. Now, you probably know the simple parts for creating great characters, making an exciting story, and setting the mood.
