Southwestern Oregon Community College will be offering “Reading and Writing Very Short Stories” winter term 2014. Whether you are a beginning writer, or an experienced wordsmith, join us for a lively exploration of very short fiction. Five or fewer pages in length, these stories still pack a full reading punch. Each week we will read and discuss professional very short stories, then work on developing our own mini versions of literary dynamite.  Location: Stensland 203; Day: Tuesdays, January 7 – February 11, 2014; Time: 6:00 to 7:50pm; Price: $50; Instructor: Carol Sanders.  For more information please call Community Education at 541-888-7328; email: communityed@socc.edu; or visit: www.socc.edu/communityed.
