Course Description

Experience the creative techniques used by published authors, and "learn by writing" to improve your storytelling skills.

In this course you will become familiar with the elements of fiction, analyze the work of classic and contemporary authors, share your work with an online community of writers, and express your vision of the world in an original short story. Find your own unique voice and tell your own story, then publish it on Zulama Story Central or keep it as part of your private portfolio.
