Description of the workshop

Our world moves with flashes and with small stories that form a whole, and the short story is no less. In this initiation course we will learn very useful techniques and tricks to give our short stories solidity and depth. Count a lot with very little. Suggest. Impact the reader and catch him. Through the writing and analysis of texts (their own and those of other authors) the student will discover their own style and preferences while evolving as a writer.

The agenda for the Short Story course is written in collaboration with our teachers specialized in the short story genre, such as Ángel Zapata, Javier Sagarna, Aixa de la Cruz, Paula Lapido, Ignacio Ferrando, Alfonso Fernández Burgos Matías Candeira, Juan Carlos Márquez, Mariana Torres and Juan Gómez Bárcena, among others.

Functioning

The courses are taught in our virtual Campus and can be followed from anywhere and at any time. Each unit, the teacher comments on all the texts in a written report, in which, in addition to making a personalized comment to each student, he makes a global comment, focused on the theme of the unit and complemented by what was discussed in the group throughout the unit. unit.

The courses begin on Wednesdays, the day on which the coordinator initiates the first discussion forums. That day you can also access the first PDF with the theoretical work material and the practical writing proposal. Students will have a space of seven days (until Tuesday) to send their exercises. The teacher will collect the exercises and share them with the group, guiding the debate and reading about them. On Tuesdays of the following week, you will submit your comments in the form of a final report to the group. And, once a month, during the day and at the time that suits the majority of the students, a virtual chat will be called (in a private chat room) to comment on the lessons or review some aspects that offer doubts.
