You may or may not know that MIT has made a number of their lectures and course information available for free online. They have a course on writing and reading short stories. Might be useful for those looking to add something to our publication.

You can't get feedback from the professor, but you could certainly work through their exercises and post some info here for feedback!

How fabulous! Non-live courses are so handy for folks living in drastically different timezones. Way better than waking up at 3 am to attend a live course across the ocean. Ugh, that was rough.

And the fact that MIT is offering this stuff for free is fantastic!
