Welcome back to the weekly podcast from Hanaz Writers! This week, we'll be talking about short stories.

What precisely distinguishes a novel from a short story?

Why, in spite of their briefness, do they have such power?

Charlotte deconstructs the craft of the short story, which is usually less than 7,500 words, and shows how this condensed format can produce powerful feelings, striking images, and enduring tales.

Consider it the literary equivalent of espresso: rich, fast, and fulfilling.

This episode provides you with the resources to get started, regardless of whether you're a reader seeking a deep five-minute escape or keen to learn a condensed storytelling style.

If this prompted you to compose your own short tale, go to our website to publish it and become a part of a helpful writing community.

Come take an exciting look at Sky Arts Week, a national program that brings creativity into classrooms in Ireland and the UK.

The adoption of the five main artistic disciplines, Marks, Images, Words, Moves, and Sounds, by schools is celebrated in this episode. Students explored self-expression through engaging and impactful activities, utilising a range of media, including superhero drawings, stop-motion movies, spoken word poetry, and flash mobs.

Hear how young students, led by Fleur East, Darcey Bussell, George the Poet, and Will Sliney, used art, dance, narrative, photography, and music to unleash their creativity and delight.
