Hop On, Hop Off Online Short Story Course

I’m very pleased to be able to announce my new online short story writing course which will start in 2012.

The Hop On, Hop Off Writing Course is in five modules which will run in a weekly cycle from 9 January onwards.

The modules are:

Character – how to build convincing characters that your readers will really care about. (running for the first time w/b 9 January 2012)

Dialogue – how to write authentic sounding dialogue that will move your plot forward and bring your story to life. (running for the first time w/b 16 January 2012)

Plot and Structure – making sure your plot works and your structure supports it. (running for the first time w/b 23 January 2012)

Theme – use of theme to make your story stand out from the rest. (running for the first time w/b 30 January 2012)

Bringing it all together – this module (which needs to be taken last) will help you bring together all you have learnt so far and will include a story critique. (running for the first time w/b 6 February 2012 and thereafter every week that the course runs)


Full details are on my website here. Please feel free to contact me via my website if you have any queries.

Are these modules targeted towards the womag market, or are they more general?

Hi Captain

I've answered this on my website in case it's of help to others as well.

Lots of luck with this, Helen. I've just signed up for another course to start in the New Year and don't have time for both, but will keep this in mind for the future. And I'm very interested in your critiquing service, too.
