I'm running a workshop next month on writing popular stories for women's magazines. There are distinct expectations from magazine editors for their stories. There are distinct expectations from all kinds of editors - for the various publications that exist on line and on paper.
Identify some of those differences. Look at anthologies of short stories and consider what the people who compiled them were aiming for.
Write a short story for a publication that is outside your comfort zone. You might be surprised by how liberating it is.
If you were designing a poster for a workshop for a particular style of short story, how would it look?
