Deadline: 31st May 2025Members short story workshop seriesI am running a series of 6 workshops to slowly develop a short story that has real depth, nuance and characters that crackle with life. All stories created in these workshops can be submitted for consideration for a special edition of WestWord that’s publishing in November. These workshops are for members of WestWord only so if you want to join in, upgrade your subscription. The first workshop was on 15th March at 15.00 GMT and the recording is available to all members. The next one is on 6th April at 14.30 BST, where we’ll be getting to know the characters at the heart of the story. Find out more:
