Fall class on flash literature at the Flash Fiction Institute

I hope you have all heard the fabulous news that Grant Faulkner, Meg Pokrass, and Tavia Stewart have established the Flash Fiction Institute—a place for workshops, community, and support for flash fiction writers. I’m so excited to be among the first round of instructors teaching flash fiction. Rather than a writing workshop, this is a course focused on reading and analyzing flash. I’m thrilled to teach so many incredible work! Here is the full description from the site:

There’s such joy to be had in the deep study of flash literature. In this class, we will analyze and appreciate exemplary flash fiction. We will read as writers and take apart three stories to see what makes them work, looking at various elements such as hook, plot, voice, and structure. We’ll also explore how each flash plays with absence and depends on the reader to help create the story. Writers will annotate assigned stories before class, in preparation for our rich, fruitful discussion.

The class will be held Sunday, November 24, from 6 to 8pm EST. The fee is $49.
