This 4-week generative class focuses on the craft of flash fiction, offering writers the opportunity to dive into the art of telling a complete story in just a few hundred words. Each week, participants will read a variety of flash fiction, write their own stories, and workshop each other's work in a supportive environment. In addition to crafting and sharing stories, the course will cover the process of submitting flash fiction to literary magazines, with a focus on publications that favor shorter forms. Ideal for both beginners and experienced writers, the class provides a space to explore, experiment, and refine storytelling skills.
