This workshop is curated for lovers of the short story and Ross will offer an opportunity to fine-tune your writing in this form. The group will reacquaint themselves with classic forms of storytelling and then playfully consider the role of subversion. Expect to plan and write a short story, and then to rip it up and start again. The day includes writing exercises, mini-lectures and lunch. In advance of the workshop, we will email you a few short stories which will be referenced by Ross.

Accommodation: if you want to stay at the River Mill either the night before the workshop or the evening after the workshop (or both!) then you will need to book that separately, and space limited www.the-river-mill.co.uk
