About Red Balloon Writing School
Red Balloon Writing School was named after the wonderfully crafted film _The Red Balloon _made in 1956 France, just 34 minutes long and hardly any dialogue but it won a best Oscar for best original screenplay.
I believe the emotions portrayed in the film, of wonder, hope and sometimes despair, sum up the work of the writer; whilst you are in the process of creating you are full of wonder and hope that your work will be appreciated by the world at large. Then there is very least, some of your best work to-date! But, as with all who spend their lives creating; rejection is commonplace and you have to pick yourself up and try again and each time you do, you hone your skills, you learn what it is your reader really wants and crucially, what they don't!
Red Balloon Writing School therefore was created to enable anyone to achieve their dream of writing a novel, to remove the elitism so often associated with writing and to highlight that there are other opportunities to novice writers to publish their work, other than spending 2, 6, or more years writing a 70,000 novel.
In addition, very few writing schools will teach you how to get published outside of obtaining a Literary Agent and this is a shame as there are so many other opportunities available, not just from self-publishing, which thankfully is slowly losing its stigma and becoming much more accessible to the individual writer.
Why Short Stories? Short Stories and Flash Fiction enable writers to hone their skills, to actually practise their writing and get published quickly. despair as you find your readers don't seem to agree with your own belief, that your work is a masterpiece, or at theThis gives immense satisfaction and self motivation to proceed onto other writing projects. However, writing short stories doesn't mean publishing sub standard work, if anything the short story writer needs to find a way to tell their story succinctly whilst still enthralling their reader and that is where Red Balloon Writing School champions the novice writer.
