Writing
a Short Story for Anthology Call-Out
FF&P
Beginning writers are often told to: “Write the story you want to read, not what someone else might want to see.” This class, instead, deals with catering a short story specifically to a publisher’s request for submissions. Regularly, editors and publishers list upcoming anthologies and the types of stories they’re looking to include.

The course will explore current call-outs, and students
will be encouraged to write specifically for one anthology and to submit the
work at the end of the course. Basic crafting of a short story, such as
development, characterization, plot structure & dialogue also will be
covered. Since most short stories fall within 2,500 to 5,000 words, we’ll also
look at ways to making word choice count and address the editing process.
End Goal: Come prepared to write! Student should write
at least one new story during the course and actually send it out for
submission. We want to see some publication success with this course.
