How to Transform 'An Idea' into a Story

How often have you thought you had a great idea for a short story, then found it goes nowhere when you start to write? This is one of the most common problems for writers of short stories: how do you turn an idea into a story? To solve it you need to know why stories are far more than anecdotes. In this highly practical workshop we'll explore how stories work and how to turn situations into stories. You'll get inspiration for new ideas and build the confidence to craft those ideas into stories with meaning and impact.
