Less Is More: Structuring a Short Story
Craft Workshop
Instructor: Piper White
Date: 11/10/2026
Less Is More: Structuring A Short Story is designed to help writers craft a compelling short story with a focus on narrative structure, characterization and the freedom to play in only a few pages. Writers will learn to move beyond the beginning, middle and end of a piece by tapping into tension, dialogue, and what is/ isn’t necessary for a piece to compel a reader. Through a writing exercise done together, writers will let their creativity out while keeping pieces short and (maybe) sweet. This event is free with Zoom registration.
Piper L. White is an author from North Carolina. She holds her BFA in creative writing from UNC Wilmington, where she also got her certificate in publishing. Her other work can be found in literary magazines such as Atlantis, Full House Literary, Carolina Muse Arts, amongst others. Her debut novel All (Dead) Girls Lie, a sapphic YA thriller, published with Row House Publishing in May 2025.
