Class meets 7-9pm ET for six sessions  (October 5th, 6th, 7th, 12th, 13th & 14th)

In this workshop, we’ll attempt to pack powerful stories into small packages.

Each class, we’ll read and discuss flash fiction, short stories, and prose poems from Lydia Davis, James Tate, Dantiel W. Moniz, Laura Van Den Berg, and others.

  • We’ll write pieces inspired by our readings and discussions.
  • We’ll study how established authors convey emotion and meaning in short pieces.
  • We’ll fawn over sentences, quick dialogue, well-placed descriptions;
  • Try to emulate masters while honing our unique voices.

Writers from all skill levels and genres are encouraged to apply.
