Look North Workshop: Introduction to the Short Story with Jan Carson

Tickets: £10
This lively, interactive and incredibly practical workshop will equip you with everything you need to begin or continue your journey with the short story. Combining discussion, writing exercises and teaching drawn from Jan’s own experience you can expect to explore all the components of the short story including character development, plot, structure, voice, editing and much more. Over the course of the two hour session, you’ll have a chance to develop and begin writing you own short story. Jan will also offer hard learnt advice on the publishing process. This workshop is suitable for both beginner writers and those keen to reinvigorate their writing practice. All you need is an imagination, a pen and a notebook.
Jan Carson is a writer based in Belfast. She has published three novels, three short story collections and two micro-fiction collections. Her next novel, Few and Far Between will be published by Doubleday in April 2026.
