The Art of Almost Nothing: Writing Flash Fiction and Micro Stories *NEW*

Flash fiction is a complete story told in under 1,000 words – sometimes even under 100. Beginning, turn, and consequence in the space of a page. The pleasure of the form is in selection: where to enter the story, which details carry the weight, which sentence to end on. We'll read short pieces, write our own, and each week we will take on one challenge of the form. You'll leave with four to six finished pieces and a sharper instinct for the sentence that's doing real work. Open to writers at any level, including those who've never finished a story. No prior workshop experience is needed.
