How writing short stories can make you a better novelist


Listen Later

You probably know that offering a reader magnet on your website is imperative to growing your email list, tantalizing readers with a sample of your writing, and eventually getting them to buy your book.
If you write novels, your reader magnet should be a short story, but if you don’t know how to write a great one, you’ll miss out on the many advantages short stories provide.
In this week’s episode, Steve Diamond, author and cohost of the Writer Dojo podcast, and I discuss the art of writing short stories.
You’ll learn

  • The biggest mistake authors make when publishing short stories
  • How short story techniques differ from those used in long-form pieces
  • Two exercises that will build your short-story-writing muscles

 Listen in or read the blog version to discover all the ways writing short stories can benefit you, and learn to write a great one.
