Learn how to write a short story at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.

Write your short story with Short Cuts Online.

We will show you how to write a short story using a plot recipe that you can use repeatedly.

What you will learn on the course:

  1. A simple method of plot construction for short stories.
  2. How to create characters who make impressions.
  3. How to keep clear of the ‘muddle in the middle’.
  4. Why the ending must fit the character and the situation.
  5. How to prepare and submit a manuscript that stands out in a competition.

What you get:

  1. Immediate access through your account.
  2. 18 awesome online modules.
  3. A printable workbook.
  4. A printable PDF of the course.
  5. A Skype session* with writing coach, Mia Botha.

 What materials do you need?

  1. You need access to a computer, the internet, and if you decide to print the workbook, a printer.
  2. Writing materials. We would encourage you to write by hand as much as possible, but, you are welcome to use any tool or material that you are comfortable with. No two methods, or two writers, are the same.

How do you complete the exercises?

  1. Either download the course and work off a printed version OR work from the online modules on the website.
  2. For the free writing exercises, simply put pen to paper and see where it takes you.
  3. For the more structured exercises, try to follow the instructions. But then again, it’s creative writing and there are no rules.
