Is it possible to tell a compelling story in 100 words or less? Absolutely! Microfiction, short stories that are told in 100 words or less, employs editing skills as much as writing, picking the right word, the right moments, and the right punctuation to tell a story as quickly as possible. In this course, we will explore the elements of microfiction and how to become comfortable with creating these bite-sized wonders yourself, for submission to journals and contests around the world!
