The Short Story Analysis Group
Where reading fuels writing.
This is a space for writers who believe that great writing begins with great reading. Each week, we read one short story—classic, modern, or obscure—and split our focus fifty-fifty: 50% story discussion, 50% writing reflection.
We’ll explore what makes each story work—its structure, character, dialogue, and emotional truth—and then turn the spotlight on our own craft. What can we learn? What can we try?
Whether you're writing fiction, memoir, essays, or still discovering your voice, this group offers a creative rhythm: read, reflect, and write with purpose.
