Workshop 3: That Killer First Page – with Paul McVeigh (SOLD OUT)
THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.
Short stories are where a lot of writers start, and short story competitions are enormously valuable to an emerging writer.
You’ll find out what competition judges and journal editors look for in a short story and how to avoid the rejection pile. In a form where every word counts, get tips on staying focused on your story and where to start the action.
You’ll also look at submission opportunities; how to find them and where you should be sending your stories.
