FICTION WRITING

Distance learning course of 8 lessons

By no means everyone who has the urge to write fiction can do so successfully and for publication. Fiction writing is a craft which must be learned, like any other. This course is not among those which declare, "Anyone has it in them to write a good short story". Let's face it, only a fraction of those who try to write have it within themselves to succeed. Writing popular fiction does not come easily, except to the gifted few. It is a complex craft and there are no short cuts to success. We will teach you how to avoid some of the pitfalls, and show you some of the short cuts.
