David Farland – How to Write a Short Story

In this seminar, learn the process that David has in writing short stories.

Use Short Stories To Launch Your Writing Career.

A lot of new authors start by writing a novel.

That’s a big mistake.

If you’re launching your writing career, you should start with short stories.

Why? 2 reasons.

First, you’re probably not an A+ fiction writer quite yet. I’m not saying you’re bad, but to make it as a novelist, you need to be elite. And if you want to be elite, you need to practice.

And short stories are the perfect way to practice writing fiction, because a) they’re easier and b) they give you more immediate feedback.

Second, short stories give you a better chance of getting discovered.

To understand what I mean, imagine you write a novel and then take it to publishers.

Even if your novel is really good, the publishers might not like it. What do you do then?

But instead of writing a novel, let’s say you write 40 short stories. That gives you 40 chances to get “discovered”, instead of just 1.

If just one of your stories gets featured in a magazine, guess what? You’re on your way to a book deal.

If just one of your stories wins a contest, guess what? You’re on your way to a book deal.

You get the picture.

It’s no wonder that so many famous novelists first got discovered via their short stories. Here are some examples:

• Ernest Hemingway (NET WORTH: $5 Million)
• Jack London (NET WORTH: $5 Million)
• Raymond Chandler (NET WORTH: $85 Million)
• Kurt Vonnegut (NET WORTH: $114 Million)
• George Saunders (NET WORTH: $1 Million)
• Jesmyn Ward (NET WORTH: $5 Million)
• Stephen King (NET WORTH: $500 Million)
