Masterclass on How to Write Short Stories
2nd October 2025
✨ New masterclass alert!
I’m thrilled to be running an online event on How to Write Short Stories with three brilliant award-winning guests:
📚 Ken Elkes – on how to take your story from first draft to polished piece
🌒 Bronte Schiltz – on creating tone, atmosphere and affect in Gothic fiction
🔪 Me, Sanjida Kay – on shaping plot and voice in short thriller fiction
📖 Joe Melia – recommendations for getting published, do your best in competitions, and what editors might be looking for
It’s a 90-minute online masterclass with a live Q&A and a handout of practical tips and exercises to take away.
We’ll be talking about process, about how there’s no single ‘right’ way to write, and about destinations for your short fiction — from competitions to journals and beyond.
📅 Date: Tuesday 9 December
⏰ Time: 7.30-9pm GMT
🎟️ Tickets: Book via Luma
Come and join us — and give your stories the best chance of being read, remembered and published.
