Five Wednesday Sessions
10:00-12:00 EST
11/12 – 12/17 (OFF 11/26)
In flash, fiction and nonfiction writers become attuned to language on the sentence level. This is good practice for writers of all genres, as you’ll learn how to transform abstract ideas into specific moments. We’ll pay close attention to pacing, metaphor & imagery, endings, and poetic techniques to employ in writing flash. There is room to experiment and take more risks with prose written in 1,000 words or less. The workshop will also cover prose poems, micros and hermit crab fiction/nonfiction. Each week we’ll study examples of both well-known and more obscure writers who have mastered this form.
