The Short Story Checklist for Black Women Writers | 3-Week Online Writing Workshop
$229.00
Are you a writer? Check!
Do you write short stories? Check!
Does your story contain basic literary elements? Let’s check!
Through an interactive, close reading of short stories written by Alice Walker and Deesha Philyaw, we will discuss the key literary elements that make up a short story (character, setting, plot, conflict, theme). We will use these elements to discuss and write to a foundational short story checklist to ensure that your own works contain these basic, necessary literary elements.
The Short Story Checklist for Black Women Writers will help you determine whether what your short story intends to convey is actually apparent. We will read, discuss, create, and have a better understanding of the elements that make up a short story.
Open to beginner and intermediate writers.
