Hello, I’m Graham

I spent my working life in a classroom, teaching teenagers to write a good first sentence. Since I retired I have done the same thing for readers of all ages, from a desk by a window in a steep town by the sea. Every week I draw three prompts, an object, a place and some trouble, and write a short story from them in twenty minutes. Then I send it out, mistakes and all.

I do it in public because it shows how little you need. A pencil, a timer and three small ideas will give you a page. What I sell is the same method made easy to use: prompt lists and decks to print, workbooks for a year of practice, and two courses for people who want to finish a short story.
