  • Novels – Hanaz Writers Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 31
    Aug 2 2025

    Greetings and welcome to another episode of the Hanaz Writers podcast featuring London-based Year 2 educator Charlotte. This week's episode explores the novel, one of the most cherished and traditional genres of creative writing.

    After talking about short tales last week, Charlotte examines the differences in form, tempo, and purpose between books. Novels, such as The Midnight Library and literary classics like Pride and Prejudice, immerse readers in stories where characters develop, adapt, and evolve over time.

    Charlotte contrasts the novel’s broad world-building to the rapid, snappy impact of a short story. She describes how authors can select different formats based on whether their story need room to develop or has a single, impactful moment. This episode is ideal for budding authors who are unclear if their novel is a sprint or a marathon since it offers helpful advice and support.

    Hanaz Writers provides free advice and chances to write, share, and publish your poetry and stories if you want to become a published author.

  • Short Stories – Hanaz Writers Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 30
    Jul 26 2025

    Welcome back to the weekly podcast from Hanaz Writers! This week, we'll be talking about short stories.

    What precisely distinguishes a novel from a short story?

    Why, in spite of their briefness, do they have such power?

    Charlotte deconstructs the craft of the short story, which is usually less than 7,500 words, and shows how this condensed format can produce powerful feelings, striking images, and enduring tales.

    Consider it the literary equivalent of espresso: rich, fast, and fulfilling.

    This episode provides you with the resources to get started, regardless of whether you're a reader seeking a deep five-minute escape or keen to learn a condensed storytelling style.

    If this prompted you to compose your own short tale, go to our website to publish it and become a part of a helpful writing community.
