Short on words but long on depth, flash fiction should sting like good poetry. Punchy, succinct and surprising, the best flash stories shift the reader's heart but also keep it beating hard. Taking our cue from historical people, places, and/or events, this workshop will guide participants through practical theory on how to write effective flash and we will write our own historic flashes in-class. We will also look at sample historical flashes from accomplished writers. Handouts will be provided.
