Curating A Short Story Collection with Kathy Hoyle

26th March 2025 7:00pm to 8:00pm

In this one-hour session, Kathy Hoyle gives you all the tools you need to curate your own short story collection – from concept to completion!

 

Short story collections can be written organically or intentionally but, in either case, there are certain elements you should consider as you work your way through the process.

 

From word count and story lengths to titles, themes and throughlines, from editing and writing the dreaded synopsis to finally sending out your work, Kathy offers a practical step-by-step outline of how to create a cohesive set of stories ready for publication.
