The Craft of the Short Story: a Writer's Perspective
The talk will start with a brief reading from Martha Cooley's own work, and
then go on to discuss the craft of writing short-stories (incipit, narratorial
voice, etc), as well as ways of teaching creative writing to students of all
ages, taking examples also from Roddy Doyle.
Martha Cooley is the author of two novels, The Archivist and Thirty-Three
Swoons (published in Italy by Guanda as L'Archivista and Una
Sognatrice,). Her short fiction, essays, and translations have appeared in
numerous literary journals. She is an Associate Professor of English at
Adelphi University, Garden City, New York where she teaches literature
and creative writing. She also teaches fiction in the Bennington Writing
Seminars, Vermont.

Thinking of Doing CELTA or DELTA?
“I’d like to become an EFL teacher. What qualifications do I need?”
“I love teaching, but I’d like to progress in my career too.”
Come along to this session to find out about two of the teacher training and
development programmes that will be run in collaboration with the British
Council Milan in the coming months, both leading to a recognised
qualification certificated by Cambridge English. If you’re new to teaching, or
have some experience but no formal qualifications, then the CELTA course
will provide the knowledge and skills you need to start on your journey as
an ELT professional. And if you’re an experienced teacher who has already
completed basic TEFL training, the Delta will not only ensure your
continuing professional development but will also give you the qualification
you need to move to a higher career position.
We will also explain how our on-line study and “sit-in” options can help you
study while coping with work, family, and other commitments.
The session will be run jointly by:
Chris Cattaneo (CELTA Trainer) and Sue Swift (DELTA Trainer)
