Flash Fiction Fundamentals
Introductory/Intermediate | How do you craft a great story in less than 1,000 words? To answer that question, we will read and discuss contemporary classics of the genre to understand how they work and what is possible with the flash fiction form. Students will apply what they’ve learned by writing at least one flash piece.
5 seats in this class are reserved for scholarship students. For more info on scholarships, click here.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
Classes with "Zoom" in the title will be held via Zoom even after our doors open. Classes listed as "Online" will be held on Wet Ink, our platform for asynchronous learning.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
