Winston-Salem Writers Workshop: “Writing the Short Story” | Zoom

Winston-Salem Writers will sponsor a Zoom workshop “Writing the Short Story” on January 21. This second workshop of the Winston-Salem Writers’ January Three-In-A-Row series will feature Leslie Pietrzyk, author of two collections of short stories, three novels, and the winner of the 2015 Drue Heinz Literature Prize. This interactive class will offer an overview of the fundamentals of what makes a short story soar.
