Zoom – Writing the Short Short Z106W20

with Liz Matthews

Writing the Short Short

In flash fiction, writers become attuned to language on the sentence level. This is good practice for all writers, 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 poetry or prose told in 1,000 words or less. We’ll study examples of both well-known and more obscure writers who have mastered this form.

    No refund will be given for students withdrawing less than 3 weeks prior to the start of the workshop, or after the first meeting of the workshop, regardless of whether the student attended the workshop. They may, however, switch to another class if space is available or seek credit if the spot can be filled.
