In this fun, friendly, open-dialogue workshop, students are invited to submit one piece of flash fiction (up to 1,000 words) to be shared with the class before we meet. You’ll receive honest, constructive feedback from both the instructor and your peers in a healthy, supportive environment with special attention paid to your specific questions and concerns. You will benefit from a robust, insightful conversation centered around your story that aims to identify your piece’s strengths—as well as its weaknesses—and provide useful suggestions for editing and revision. Most importantly, you’ll leave this two-hour class with fresh inspiration and new ideas, armed with confidence and a concrete plan for polishing your work.
