SUMMARY:The Contemporary Short Story Competition Ready Course with Carla Jenkins
DESCRIPTION:13th\, 20th\, 27th March (no sessions 3rd and 10th April )    17th\, 24th April      1st\,  8th\, 15th May \nFridays 14.00-15.30 \nEntering writing competitions is great fun and brilliant for building up your writer’s CV if you get placed. Join this eight-week course where\, at the end of it\, you’ll have a 2000 word short story that you can be proud of\, and is competition ready. \nWe’ll be closely analysing stories by Zadie Smith\, Kevin Barry\, Yiyun Li and Clare Keegan (among other twenty-first-century greats) and also exploring how using real-life material can enrich our writing. \nThe course will include two workshopping sessions where you’ll be given feedback from Carla Jenkins and the rest of the attendees\, and you will also give feedback on their short stories. Guidance and support will be given on how to do this. \nYou’ll be expected to do a lot of reading and writing in between sessions\, and a full course outline and reading list will be sent once you’ve signed up. Places are limited to eight so everyone (and their stories) are given a lot of attention. \nFree entry into the Raw Writing Short Story Writing Competition (worth £15). The deadline will be in June\, the word count will be 2000\, and the prize will be a mentoring package (six sessions) with a published writer\, a place on a six-month Raw Writing course\, and publication in the Raw Writing Anthology.
