Zero to Story

Zero to Story is a 21-day course that takes you through the fundamentals of writing, before guiding you through writing a flash fiction piece and a short story.

Here’s what you’ll cover:

Week 1: Fundamentals of Fiction – Ideas, Characters, Plot, Setting, Point of View, Narrative, and Dialogue

Week 2: Writing Flash Fiction – Developing your idea, planning your story, writing, editing, flash fiction competitions.

Week 3: Writing a Short Story – Short story structure, crafting your short story, rewriting, and editing.

You can work through the course at your own pace, so if you want to take longer than 21 days, that’s fine! To finish within the 21 days, you’ll need around 15-30 minutes per day during weeks one and two, and around 30–60 minutes per day during week three.

You also get:
