Write & Publish Your Short Story
A fully supported six-week group course to help you plan, write, and finish your own short story — with daily coaching, a live weekly call, a warm community, and a personal critique from me.
Standard: £250 | Premium (includes publication): £375
Most people who want to write a short story never finish one. Not because they can’t — but because life gets in the way, the momentum fades, and there’s nobody waiting for the next page.
This course changes that. Over six weeks I’ll be with you every day — in your inbox, in our community, and on our weekly live call. You’ll have structure, support, accountability, and a group of people on exactly the same journey. And at the end, you’ll have something you’ve never had before: a finished story.
The six weeks
- Introductory Week: Welcome, community building, and reading as a writer
- Week 1: Finding your voice and your idea
- Week 2: Character and point of view
- Week 3: Plot and structure
- Week 4: Writing the draft
- Week 5: Editing and peer feedback
- Week 6: Polish, finish, and next steps
What's included — Standard section:
- Daily weekday posts in a private Facebook community — teaching, prompts, and encouragement
- Weekly live Zoom call — teaching segment plus your pre-submitted questions answered
- A peer feedback session in Week 5 — hear your work read aloud and respond to others

- You’ve tried before and need structure and accountability to see it through
