What Writers Are Saying

Working Hands on Laptop

This is the best course on Udemy for short story writing. Most other courses go about the theory of writing stories. But Barbara shows her writing process step by step in real-time. I had my first-ever short story written by the end of her course. Highly recommended for aspiring writers who want to learn to write short stories.

I really enjoyed this course. I loved your easy going, over the shoulder style of teaching. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You make story telling do-able. It was like a friend took me by the hand and walked me through. A great beginners course to build on. I sincerely hope you do a course on ' how to write a novella'.

About The Course

This course is not just about writing. It is about finishing what you start.


In this class, I'll share with you my six-step process for writing short stories. I'll not only tell you about the steps, but I'll show you how I do them.


During this class, I'll write a short story from scratch in front of you in real-time. You'll get to watch my screen as I explore, and I'll talk you through what I'm thinking to give the most complete picture of the process.


If you're ready, I'm ready. Let's get started!
