How To Write a Short Story

How To Write a Short Story

**UPDATE 2019 VERSION**

Writing short stories is a great way to test the waters of fiction without making a huge commitment, or to experiment with different genres, characters, settings, and voices.

Even if you’ve published a novel or two, it’s a good idea to try to release a few high-quality, well-edited short stories between books to help with discover ability and growing a fan base.

Also, today’s busy readers (especially the young ones) have more distractions and temptations for their time, therefore shorter attention spans, and they’re reading on smaller devices, so a short story is a nice escapism-byte for increasing numbers of people.

In order to write your short story, you will go through a series of steps: Pre writing, Drafting and Revision. Each of these steps will build upon each other to lead to your final short story.

Criteria:

 Develop strong characters

 Dialogue that will help reveal the characters

 Setting – the time and location of the story

 Story is told from a specific point of view

 Plot, or series of events that leads to the climax

 Use either foreshadowing or irony

 Theme that is revealed by the story’s end

 Write for a specific audience

 3 page (minimum)

 Use correct grammar, punctuation, etc.

 Use appropriate language
