Writers Victoria

In this online feedback clinic, author Rashida Murphy will provide feedback on your short fiction, enabling you to improve your skills over four months. Submission Deadlines: Pieces of up to 1500 words due Tuesdays 18 March, 15 April, 13 May, 10 June. A short story ought to sustain both attention and imagination—a great short story leads the reader into a world where attention to detail is sustained by economy, complexity and depth. Rashida will provide targeted, individual feedback to improve your writing. This may include comments on plot, character, development and structure. Each month writers will be encouraged to focus on different aspects of the narrative form to create layered, nuanced stories. Some word prompts and links to specific texts may be provided to explore the links between language and form. Submit four stories or work on the same one through the clinic. This online course takes place in our online forum.
