Your Instructor: Ennis Ćehić
Ennis Ćehić is a writer of fiction and non-fiction whose work explores displacement, creativity and capitalism, often through satire, absurdism and meta-fiction.
His debut collection of stories, Sadvertising, published by Penguin Random House in 2022, has been hailed as an ‘electrifying and genre-defying new voice in Australian fiction’. The collection, optioned for a screen adaptation by See-Saw Films, showcases his skill of short-form and unconventional storytelling. He is here to teach you how to do the same—writing punchy, compelling Very Short Stories.
