Writing a short story differs from writing a novel in several key ways: There is less space to develop characters, less room for lengthy dialogue, and often a greater emphasis on a twist or an 'a-ha' realization. How to write a short story in ten steps:

Step 1: Devise an intriguing scenario.

Step 2: Plan what publications you will submit your final story to.

Step 3: Find the story's focus before you start.

Step 4: Outline character and setting details.

Step 5: Choose a point of view for the story.

Step 6: Write the story as a one-page synopsis.

Step 7: Write a strong first paragraph.

Step 8: Write a satisfying climax and conclusion.

Step 9: Rewrite for clarity, concision and structure.

Step 10: Pick an intriguing story title and submit to short fiction publishers.

1: Find the scenario for your story

Writing a novel gives you more elbow room to develop characters and story arcs and symbols at a leisurely pace. Writing a short story differs in that often there is a single image, symbol, idea or concept underlying the story. Some examples of original story scenarios:

In Roald Dahl's famous short story 'Lamb to the Slaughter', a woman murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and serves the cooked evidence to the investigating officers

In William Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily', a notorious town recluse dies, leaving the town to discover her grisly secret

In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World', the way of life of an entire village is changed by the discovery of a mysterious, handsome drowned man who washes up on the beachfront

Find a scenario you can write down in a sentence or two. An interesting or novel scenario that sets the story in motion has multiple benefits:

It sets up a range of possible developments and symbols (for example, in the Garcia Marquez, the plans the village makes for the man's burial and the processes and emotions that follow the discovery of a body)

It gives you something to pitch to publications when submitting your story

On the topic of publishers:

2: Plan structure and themes around the publications you'll submit to

One of the benefits of writing short stories either as preparation for writing a novel or for their own sake is that there are many publishing opportunities for short fiction. You can get your story published in:

Literary journals and magazines

Writing contest anthologies

Anthologies curated around specific topics or themes

Online publications (digital journals, writing websites and e-zines)

Make a list of possible publications, once you have decided on your core story scenario. Note:

Minimum and maximum submission word counts

Any specified formatting requirements

The contact details for the person in charge of submissions

The themes and topics most frequently featured by the publication

It's wise to have these guidelines for formatting, word count and areas of interest worked out before you start, because this will enable you to make your story meet requirements for acceptance. This will save time later when it comes to revising.

Aerogramme Studio has a helpful post on 23 short story contests open for entry in 2016. Many carry substantial prizes. What's more, being chosen as a finalist is something you can leverage when submitting stories for publication in the future.

So you have the story idea worked out and a list of publications and their requirements to guide your creative decisions? Now it's time to find your short story's focus:

3: Find the focus of your story

The scenario of your short story is the idea or image that sets the story in motion and opens narrative possibilities. The focus is the communicative aspect: What do you want to say? Why write a short story on this subject in particular? Finding the focus of your short story before you start is explained by Writer's Relief via the Huffington Post thus:

'Explore your motivations, determine what you want your story to do, then stick to your core message. Considering that the most marketable short stories tend to be 3,500 words or less, you'll need to make every sentence count'.

If you were Gabriel Garcia Marquez, for example, and you had decided on the scenario for your short story, 'The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World' ('Dead man washes up on beach and his appearance causes momentous changes in a nearby village's way of life'), then you might describe the focus of your story thus:

'The story's focus: Rural life and the way the introduction of new, unfamiliar things changes it. Also: Death and how people respond to and make sense of it.'

Once you have an idea of the topic, themes and focus of your short story, it'll be easier to outline characters who are consistent with these elements:

4: Outline your characters and setting(s)

Writing a book makes outlining essential, given the complexity of long-form fiction. When writing short fiction, you might think 'Why should I bother with outlining?' The truth is that it is useful for similar reasons: It gives you creative direction and helps to make your writing structured and internally consistent.

Once you have the scenario, topics and themes for your story, make a list for each character you want to cast. Make notes on character elements such as:

Physical appearance (face, posture and mannerisms)

Personality

Occupation

Backstory

Preoccupations and interests

Role in the story

Similarly, for setting, write down:

Where the story will take place

What is significant about the setting for the story (does it underscore specific themes or foreshadow a particular climax?)

Have an idea before you start writing a short story as to who will star in it and where it will take place. This will give direction and a sense of purpose to your writing.

5: Choose a point of view for the story

Point of view (or POV) can create subtle shifts in characterisation. For example, a character who narrates the story in the first-person may seem strong and self-possessed. You could make the same character seem much less powerful by using the second person instead.

An example of this is James Joyce's use of the second person in his story 'Clay' from the collection Dubliners. The focal character is a cook named Maria. Joyce uses second-person throughout to describe Maria and her daily life, even though she is the focal character of the story. Maria's own story not being told through the first person conveys a sense of her social position - she is a 'she' who is likely marshalled around by wealthy employers. The story simply wouldn't achieve the same sense of Maria's marginal status were it written in first person.

Dennis Jerz and Kathy Kennedy share useful tips on choosing point of view:

'Point of view is the narration of the story from the perspective of first, second, or third person. As a writer, you need to determine who is going to tell the story and how much information is available for the narrator to reveal.'

They go on to describe the pros and cons of each point of view:

First person: The story is narrated by a character using the pronoun 'I'. Pros: One of the easiest POVs for beginners; it allows readers to enter a single character's mind and experience their perceptions. Cons: The reader doesn't connect as strongly to other characters in the story.

Second person: Much less common, this addresses the reader as a character in the story, using the pronoun 'You'. Pros: Novel and uncommon; the reader becomes an active story participant. Cons: The environment of the story can feel intangible as the reader has to imagine the story setting as her immediate surroundings.

Third person omniscient: The story is told using he/she/it. In omniscient POV, the narrative is told from multiple characters' perspectives, though indirectly. Pros: Allows you to explore multiple characters' thoughts and motivations. Cons: transitioning between different characters' perspectives must be handled with care or the reader could lose track of who is the viewpoint character.

Third person limited:The story is told using he/she but from one character's perspective. Pros: The reader enjoys the intimacy of a single character's perspective. Cons: Other characters' views and actions are only understood through the perceptions of the viewpoint character.

As you can see, choosing POV requires thinking about both who you want to tell your story and what this decision will exclude. Think about the scenario of your story and what would fit best. Virginia Woolf, writing a dinner party scene, alternates between diners' perspectives using third person omniscient. This creates a strong sense of a group of very different people coming together and bringing contrasting desires, opinions and impressions to the table.

6: Write your story as a one page synopsis

This might seem like a dubious idea. After all, how will you know where the story will take you once you start writing? The truth is that even just attempting this as an exercise will give you an idea of the strong and weak points of your story idea: Will there be sufficient climax? Is there an intriguing story that the initial premise makes possible?

You should at least try to write your short story in condensed form first for other reasons, too:

You'll begin with the bare essentials - having the most important elements at the centre of your process will stop you from writing boring filler

You'll be better able to work out the number and sequence of scenes you'll need to do your topic and themes justice

Joe Bunting advocates breaking your story into a scene list so that you have a clear overview of the structure of your story and the parts that require additional work. If you don't have a clear outline of your story to begin with and prefer to start writing immediately, you can do this at a later stage too.

7: Write a strong first paragraph

You don't necessarily need to begin writing your story from the first paragraph. The chances are that you will need to go back and revise it substantially so that it matches with the rest of the story when you are finished. Bunting actually advises against starting a short story with the first paragraph because the pressure to create a great hook can inhibit you from making headway. Says Bunting:

'Instead, just write. Just put pen to paper. Don't worry about what comes out. It's not important. You just need to get your short story started.'

Whether you are intent on starting with the beginning or prefer to follow Bunting's advice, here are important things to remember about your opening paragraph:

It should foreshadow the events of the story by introducing core subjects and themes (Garcia Marquez's story begins with the discovery of the drowned man's body).

It should pique the reader's interest and elicit questions (in the unsettling discovery of Marquez's drowned man two immediate questions arise: 'Who is he? What does the discovery portend?')

It should not waste time - the limited word count of a short story requires you to get to the meat of the story faster

Discussing writing catchy first paragraphs, Jerz and Kennedy suggest:

'The first sentence of your narrative should catch your reader's attention with the unusual, the unexpected, an action, or a conflict. Begin with tension and immediacy.'

8: Create a strong climax and resolution for a satisfying story arc

The climax of a story is crucial in long as well as short fiction. In short stories in particular, the climax helps to give the story a purpose and shape - a novel can meander more. Many short story writers have favoured a 'twist in the tale' ending (the American short story author O. Henry is famous for these).

The climax could be dramatically compelling. It could be the reader's sudden realisation that a character was lying, for example, or an explosive conflict that seemed inevitable from the first page.

Writing a good short story ending can be achieved many ways. Besides using an element of surprise you can have an ending that:

Is open: The reader must piece together the final pages' implications

Is resolved: The meaning of the outcome is clear and fits the preceding events' pattern of cause and effect

Returns to the beginning: An opening image or action returns and the story is given a circular structure

These are just three possible types of short story resolution. After the final full stop the crucial revision process begins:

9: How to write a short story that gets published: Rewrite for clarity and structure

Revising is just as important when writing short stories as it is when writing novels. A polished story greatly increases your chance of publication. While revising your short story, see to it that:

The expectations set up on the first page are dealt with subsequently (see 'Chekhov's Gun')

All information, characters and scenes that don't contribute to the main story focus are cut

Each line adds something significant to the overarching effect of the story

See further pointers on editing your own writing.

10: Pick a great story title and submit your revised story to contests and publishers

Choosing a title for your short story should come last because you will have the entire narrative to draw on. A great title achieves at least two things:

1. It creates intrigue (Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily' makes the reader ask 'Who is Emily and what occasions this gift of a single rose?')

2. It establishes the key characters, subjects, symbols or objects of the short story (such as 'The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World')

Once you have created an alluring title, you can set about submitting your story to publications. If you are not yet an established author, it may be easier to get published on a digital platform such as an online creative writing journal. Spread the net wide, however, and submit wherever your short story meets guidelines and topical preferences. This will maximize the chance your short story will be published.

Standard English is the variety of English that suits, and is the accepted norm, for certain situations where clear meaning is very important - and especially where the audience is not personally known.

In formal speaking and listening situations you will almost naturally tend to use Standard English without thinking, for example, when giving a speech in a formal situation to a group of people you do not know.

In Standard English, you will not use slang words and will even avoid some colloquialisms, for example, you might avoid saying 'cool' and may say 'fantastic' instead.

The keys to presenting an effective speech are preparation and - and a way to keep your nerves in check . World leaders don't just stand up and make up a speech on the spot - they carefully prepare and practice beforehand.

An effective speech needs to:

Use English skillfully - as you will have had time to prepare your speech in advance, you can show off your English language skills and vocabulary.

Be memorable - former prime minister Tony Blair was famous for making a speech that included the phrase 'Education, education, education'. This use of repetition helped his audience to identify and remember his key idea. Think about the type of language techniques you can add to your own speeches that will help make your ideas memorable.

Make people think - you may have heard of Martin Luther King who famously repeated the phrase 'I have a dream...' when he campaigned for equal rights for black Americans. This was a speech designed to inspire and emotionally 'connect' with his audience - to make them think.

Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech hit all three of these points, and was instrumental in changing the behaviours and attitudes of the time.

Excerpt
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!
Martin Luther King

"When you write well, revision becomes not a chore, but the essence of the writing act itself."(Tell It Slant by Brenda Miller)
Revision is part of the writing process. You revise your work after you have selected an idea to write about, completed necessary research, organized your information, decided on what to write about, and then written a first draft. The purpose of the first draft is not to write something complete-but to get your ideas on paper. Whether you write poetry, fiction, personal essays, you should revise your work.

Revision can transform an ordinary piece of poetry, short fiction, personal essay, or any form of writing into something memorable. Revision allows you to improve on an initial attempt. It gives you the opportunity to write the best possible poem, fiction, personal essay, and so forth.

Revision is often the most creative aspect of writing, providing you take a break after writing the first draft. The first draft is just a blueprint. Taking a break and then returning to revise your work gives your mind time to see and hear the writing from a fresh perspective. Brenda Miller, author of "Tell It Slant," suggests that your first draft is just a "discovery draft." You should write anything you desire. A first draft is never your best work.

The goal of revision is not to make your writing perfect, because you can always revise your work. (Many writers believe that writing is never finished.) The goal is to create something that is your best work. If you write sparse prose, you might have to add content. If you overwrite, you'll have to delete the excess. Both the sparse writer and verbose writer will have to trim, alter, rearrange their content. They will also have to change language, phrases, sentence structure, paragraphs, and sections. The writer's goal is always to improve on previous iteration.

When revising a piece of writing, don't think of making it perfect, revise with the purpose of making it your best work.

In this article, I'll discuss how to revise your creative writing. The following will be covered:

Why you should revise your work

Distancing yourself

Reading your work aloud and making notes

Revising your work by doing a macro-edit and micro-edit

Why Revise

The first draft is always a "shitty first draft." This is what Anne Lamott tells us in the splendid book on the craft of writing called "Bird By Bird." No writer gets it best the first time. Revision allows you the opportunity to improve. By revising your work after writing the initial draft, you can improve your writing, such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, mechanics, and usage. Revising your work also gives you the opportunity to improve the structure, plot, characterization, point of view, conflict, climax, resolution, theme and so forth of your story.

Some writers don't include sufficient detail for a first draft; others include too much detail. Revising your work allows you to add, cut, rearrange, and expand the details of your poem, story, articles, essay.

Revising also enables you to see your writing from a fresh perspective-especially if you take a break from writing A break gives you a chance to add simile, metaphor, fresh language, new details, to tap into your imagination. Writer/instructor Jack Hodgins, author of A Passion for Narrative: A Guide for Writing Fiction, writes that: "The goal in revising is to achieve a more powerful whole."

Distancing Yourself from Your Writing

What approach should you take to revising your work? Some writers write and edit as they go. But this approach blocks your imagination. It stifles creativity. It prevents the free flow of ideas from your mind to the page. Instead of writing what you are hearing in your mind, you are writing and then correcting.

Some writers reread as they go. But this approach slows down the flow of ideas from your mind to the page. It also interrupts the creative process and prevents the imagination from inventing.

Some writers craft their first draft with pen and a notebook, and then type the draft out on the computer. They write a first draft without revising or editing or rereading. It is a complete first draft. When they type out the draft on their computer, they reread and revise. I use this approach, and find it useful.

Author Susan Bell, in " The Artful Edit," suggests you distance yourself before revising. Here are a few recommendations she provides in her book:

Don't reread as you write. It slows down the writing process and creative thinking.

Don't revise as you write your first draft. It slows down the writing process and creative thinking.

Write your complete first draft of a poem, chapter, section. And then take a break. The break of time allows you to approach your work from a new perspective. How long should you take? It all depends-at least one night. But many writers take a few days off, even a week, or longer, before starting the revision process.

After the break, reread your work aloud to hear how it sounds.

Once you have taken a break and reread your work, begin revising your work.

Many beginner writers believe that after writing their first draft they are finished. Furthermore, they believe the myth that the first draft must be perfect, and so they take forever to finish. Many writers become discouraged and abandon their writing. They find that the act of writing is like walking through the woods in the dark without a flashlight.

Writing is a process. It begins with an idea, followed by research or personal reflection. Next, the writer jots down a few points or makes a more formal plan of what he/she intends to write about. Then the writer crafts the initial draft. Once the draft is complete, the writer takes a break. The break allows the writer time to see his/her work from a fresh perspective. When the writer returns from the sojourn or hiatus, he/she begins revising the draft. The purpose of revision is to improve on the initial attempt, to make it better, to make it the best the writer can, to polish, to convert chaos to order, to make the piece of writing shine.

In "You Can't Make this Stuff Up," writer Lee Gutkind, states the following: "Writing is Revision. Almost every sentence, every paragraph, every page we write we will revise and rewrite a number of times."

All great writers revise their work over and over before publishing. Raymond Carver rewrote his short stories many times before publishing. D. H. Lawrence rewrote the novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover three times before it was published. Ernest Hemingway wrote the ending to Farewell to Arms 39 times.

All writers can learn how to revise their work. The first thing to remember is that the first draft is just an blue print. It is not your finished piece of work. By revising your work, you improve your first attempt. Often you'll need to complete several revisions before you submit it for publishing.

How to Revise

Many writers revise as they write. They'll write a sentence or paragraph or section, then reread it, then revise. But this is a slow and tedious process. And it prevents you from getting to the finishing line quickly. Moreover, it interrupts the free flow of ideas from the mind to the page. A better way to revise is to write the entire draft, take a break of a day or longer. Why take a break? It allows you to see your work from a fresh perspective or point of view. It's like looking taking a photograph of a building from different perspectives. From each viewpoint, you'll see something different. The goal of writing, like taking photographs, is to capture the best image. When you return to your writing, you'll read it aloud and make notes of things you don't like. Then you'll conduct a macro-edit and micro-edit of the entire draft. Often you'll need to revise your narrative several times before submitting it for publication. Your approach to writing and revising should be to get it down, and then work on getting your poem or story or essay or article right-making it the best you can.

Revision is about rereading your entire piece of writing, find errors, omissions, things that requirement improvement or deletion. Revision is about rewriting. You'll approach the process of revising from a high level, which involves the entire document, poem, story, article. Editors call this a "macro-edit." Once you have completed a macro edit of your piece of creative writing, then you'll complete a line-by-line edit or copy edit. Editors and instructors call this a "micro-edit."

What to Revise

After writing your complete draft, take a break for a day or more. The break from writing will enable you to see your work from a new perspective. Once you have taken the break, reread your work aloud, and make notes for improvement as you go. After reading your work aloud to yourself, you'll complete a macro edit. All types of creative writing requires a macro edit, whether you write a short story, novel, personal essay, or literary journalistic article. Once you've finished the macro-edit, you'll also complete a micro-edit, which is a line-by-line edit or copy edit. Not all of the items on this list will apply to every genre.

Macro-Editing. What does a macro-edit involve? For a macro-edit of a personal narrative essay or fictional story, you'll do the following:

Ensure that the beginning tells the reader what the story is about and why they should reader it. And also ensure that the beginning grabs the reader's attention.

Ensure that your story has a setting. It is shows the time and place of the story. It can be a backdrop, antagonist, or the mood of a story. Does your story, at the minimum, have take place at a particular time and place?

Revise to enhance the central character. Does the central character have a motive? Character flaws? Have you develop the character with dialogue, behaviour, appearance?

Revise to improve the structure. Is there a beginning, middle, and ending? Is there an inciting incident? Problem? Setbacks or obstacles? Climax or turning point? Resolution to the story?

Revise for dialogue. Does the dialogue reveal character? Move the story forward? Sound like real people talking? Does each character speak differently? Is dialogue included in important events or scenes?

Revise for style. Do you use a consistent voice? tone? diction? Sentence variety?

Ensure that the story has a correct and consistent point of view. First person (I)?, Second person (you)? Third person (He/she)?

Ensure that you have included concrete and specific and significant details and descriptions.

Ensure that you have used imagery, language that appeals to the reader's sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch.

Ensure that you have used figurative language, such as simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism.

Ensure that you show the reader what happened with dialogue, action, setting, imagery when writing about important events, such as the inciting incident, crisis, climax, resolution.

Ensue that the story has a theme. What is the implicit meaning of your work?

Ensure that your story has an ending. And is the ending correct? Open? Closed?

If you are writing a piece of creative nonfiction, you'll want to also ensure that you have written into a structure. For instance, if you are writing a theme-based personal essay, you'll want to make sure that you have a variety of sections, which supports central idea.

If you are writing a collage essay, you'll want to ensure that your "found objects," such as a quotation, anecdote, vignette, poem, and so forth, support the central idea.

If you are writing a braided essay, you'll want to be sure that your structure adequately reveals a comparison between two ideas or people or things. For more information, read "The Writer's Portable Mentor: A Guide to Art, Craft, and the Writing Life" by Priscilla Long.

If you are writing a poem, your macro-edit will consider the following:

Form-narrative, meditative, surreal, image, prose....

Line break-for emphasis, enjambment, rhyme

Stanza

Diction or word choice

Figurative or poetic language such as simile or metaphor or imagery

Concrete and significant details

Description

Grammar and syntax and punctuation

Right voice and style

Sound, such as alliteration or assonance or rhyme

Rhythm and meter

Point of view-first, second, third person, invented persona

Theme-meaning of the poem

Micro-editing. After completing a macro-edit, you'll complete a micro-edit. Whether you write poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, you must complete a micro-edit. It is a line-by-line edit of the following:

Grammar. Ensure that you are using correct grammar, such as Correct usage, such as subject verb agreement

Spelling. Ensure that you are using correct spelling.

Punctuation. Ensure that you are using correct punctuation-period, comma, dash, exclamation point, question mark, quotations

Scenes. Ensure that you have shown and told your readers. You must write in scenes for all important events. Do you show your readers what happened? For things that are less important, do you tell your readers?

Diction/word choice. Ensure that you have chosen the best language. What is the connotation and denotation of each word?

Sentence variety. Ensure that you have used sentence variety, such as long and short sentence, fragments and climactic sentences, simple, compound, and complex sentences.

Melody. Ensure that your prose have melody. Have you used alliteration? Assonance? Rhyme? Repetition?

Rhythm. Ensure that your prose have rhythm? It refers to the patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables. It also refers to the use of repetition? And it refers to the use of parallel structure of your prose?

Lyricism. Ensure that you your prose are lyrical? Have you used imagery? Metaphor? Simile?

Usage. Ensure that you have used the active voice, concrete nouns, action verbs. Ensure that you have used adjectives and adverbs sparingly.

A few Suggestions about Revision

If you intend to revise and to publish, you must have a good understanding of grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, and writing style. If you are not sure about any of these topics, I strongly recommend you read and learn the suggestions, guidelines, and recommendations presented in the following:

The Elements of Style by Strunk and White

Revision is part of writing. All great writers revise to improve their work. The best writers conduct a macro-edit and micro-edit (a line-by-line edit) of their work. Revising your work enables you to correct mistakes and oversights, to add, to delete, to alter, to move, to improve and polish a first attempt. Revising your work gives you the chance to create your best work, which improves your odds of publishing it.
