Micro, Nano, Sudden, Smoke-long. What is flash fiction and how do we pull it off? This workshop is for writers who are curious about one of fiction’s most slippery forms. We will take a close look at the rules of this short-short genre so that we can effectively break those rules! We will look at examples, both famous and obscure, and play with writing prompts curated to get the flash juices flowing.
