Is your story the best it can be?

You've made it through that first short story draft...but you know it needs more work to turn that draft into a saleable manuscript. What you really need is a workshop experience, but time, money or other considerations won't allow for that right now. The Short Story Workshop for One is the answer!

Four in-depth lessons will guide you through your story, identifying problem areas and helping you craft a more professional manuscript. The Workshop For One method breaks down the process of editing your story into manageable chunks, allowing you to focus your attention on one crucial element of the story at a time. By guiding you to ask pertinent questions and evaluate the various facets of your story and your writing, redrafting as necessary, the lessons steer you toward a stronger, cleaner, more sophisticated draft.

The chapters are structured to allow you to focus on one element of your story at a time, keeping you motivated without becoming overwhelmed. Writing a first draft can be easy. Editing it into a great finished product takes special effort. By using the writing plan outlined in this course, however, you can improve the writing in every story. Your first draft is your raw material. Get the guidance you need to turn that raw material into a finely polished piece.
