Writing flash fiction is fun and fabulous! What it's not? Easy. Cramming whole character arcs into 1,000 words (and less) is challenging. Writing flash takes time. Patience. Practice. It embodies the art of compression. A yearning for brevity. The need for urgency.

This mini-intensive addresses flash fiction through a publication lens: market do's and don'ts, the editor’s mindset, how to write flash fiction (with exercises), and how to edit it. Don’t miss this course that’s essential for anyone interested in authoring and publishing flash fiction!

I've had other flash fiction classes, but this class went far beyond in depth and detail than others I've taken here and elsewhere! I'm glad I registered. Thank you.
I found the course both informative and the feedback instructive and positive.
A well-presented class with the lecture material in both read-online and downloadable forms. Good interaction with the students and timely responses from the lecturer to questions. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in writing flash fiction, whether intended for publication or not.
This presentation helped me understand the process of writing to market, particularly flash fiction. She shared also a lot of new resources. Great class!
