Between the Lines: Short Stories by New Manchester Writers

Comma Short Story Course #17

by Susan Browning, Reshma Ruia, Kevin McGeary

These pieces were all written on the Comma Press Short Story Course facilitated by Sarah Schofield at Hope Mill in Manchester. The group met once a month for six months. Each session involved some critique from peers and the tutor of their own work, a close look at examples of stories from other writers as well as theory and practice of the craft.In the stories gathered here we encounter the intricacies of family life, relationships old and new, curious botany, the cult of celebrity and social media, the supernatural world, life in miniature and art, and even John Wayne. There are stories that give satisfying and surprising closure and others that sing on for the reader long after they’ve read the final sentence.Many of the writers featured here have already had publishing and award-winning successes with their stories. Each one has developed their creative practice to the next level.
