This fresh workshop explores the gifts and challenges of very short fiction.
Come along and play on the page with guided writing provocations. Engage with selected readings and discussion exploring the craft of writing micro and flash fiction (and short creative non-fiction). There will be chances to share your work and the opportunity to explore publishing and competitions.
Prerequisites? A curious mind and a love of stories.
Remember: Everything you learn about short fiction hones the craft of short story and novel writing, too.
