Writing Short Stories Course: November 2025

Learn how to write powerful short stories drawn from real life with Bravewords.

There’s a special satisfaction that comes from capturing a true story. It’s an act of defiance and joy.

In this 4-week course, you'll explore how writers play with language, imagery and scenes to create compelling narratives. Learn how to weave together facts, feelings and reflections to create a vivid story that speaks from the heart.

You'll be guided to develop your own 2,000 word true story with group feedback and individual mentoring from author and Bravewords Live co-host, Adrienne Ferreira.

Understand how an anecdote is different to a story and how to write about your experience so that it conveys something meaningful.

With a focus on structure and voice, you’ll be encouraged to draft and dive deeper into your subject to build a powerful piece that will move others.

Thursday evenings 6-9pm 7th to 28th November 2025 at the Funhaus Factory (Kibble Park venue), 124 Donnison Street, Gosford.

Fee includes 12 hours total class time, plus editing on your story, up to 2,000 words.
