Laser Meets Lightning by ESO/M Kornmesser

This form of short fiction is called by many names: sudden, short-short, instant, fast, micro, and postcard, to name just a few and it’s one of the most popular genres these days. But there’s more to the form than word count and in this workshop we’ll explore what it requires besides brevity.

We’ll spend our first meeting (March 24) learning the genre through discussion, readings, and hands-on exercises. We’ll explore what works and why, get some good starts on our own short pieces (Flash Fiction can be as few as 50 words and as many as 1000), and notes and ideas for even more.

In our second session (April 7th), participants will bring a completed manuscript to class for read and critique and options for publication will be discussed.
