Flash Fiction & Nonfiction Workshop

Flash storytelling is a brief read that stays with the reader. Flash stories are sometimes a paragraph, sometimes a page or two. Sometimes fiction, other times nonfiction.

What moments and experiences are best told through flash? Why write a flash instead of a short story or a longer work? Where are flash pieces published?

This workshop will review flash fiction and nonfiction, examine what makes an effective flash piece, and write our own.
