How do you tell a story in a page? How do you condense all the necessary elements into 1,000 words or less?
Effective flash nonfiction renders a pivotal moment or theme from our lives with precise language, vivid sensory details, and lyricism. This kind of writing is distilled and focused, exploring the power of the haunted and the harrowing, the joyful and the generous. This workshop will help participants identify potential flash topics and empower them with the tools to grab a reader from the first word and not let them go. We will write at least three drafts of flash pieces during the course of the class as well as generate a list of possible future essays.
