Short stories generally refer to fictional works of 20 pages or less. They are popular in literary magazines and they often appear in compilations (books of short stories). Short stories provide writers an outlet for quick bursts of imagination and unlike novels, short stories can be read in one sitting. In this session, you will learn how to develop a page-turning theme, plot, exposition (characters, setting, main conflict) rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution (dénouement).
