Alan Mahar, Alan Beard, Jackie Gay, Joel Lane, Helen Cross and Julia Bell, give practical tips by examining the technique of Eudora Welty William Trevor, E Annie Proulx, Ray Bradbury, Emily Perkins and Raymond Carver. This series of 6 master classes was first published in the Birmingham Post in autumn 2001 to inspire the city's writers to enter a short story competition which resulted in Birmingham Nouveau (2002).
