The Cisco Writers Club WordLaunch Workshop Series proudly presented Fiction Addiction: Writing Short Stories, led by CWC President Bokerah Brumley. In this two-part class, Bokerah showed how to whittle down characters and narrative to create a short work that’s ready to query and submit. Bokerah shared resources and options for the short story writer, as well as how writing short-form works can help long-form writers network and reach new readers.
In a particularly sweet deal for this session, attendees are eligible for one-on-one critiques of work up to 5,000 words and coaching session via email. That is worth more than the cost of the classes!
Bokerah’s work can be found in Havok Magazine (July issue), Southern Writers Magazine (Summer 2016 issue), Echoes of Liberty (The Clarion Call Book 2), The Stars at My Door (April Moon Books), A Fellowship of Fantasy Anthology: Fantastic Creatures, The Light Leads to Hope and Peace (Reflections of Faith Book 2), Freedom’s Light: Short Stories, and four more upcoming anthologies. In 2016, she was awarded first place in the FenCon Short Story Contest, third place in the Southern Writers Magazine Short Story Contest, fifth place in the Children’s/Young Adult category for the 85th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition, and selected as a 2016 Pitch Slam! finalist. More recently, she accepted a contract with Clean Reads Press and works as an editorial intern for Inklings Literary Agency.
