WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
“Sewing Clothes for a Mouse: The Art of Creating Characters in Very Short Stories,” a Flash Fiction workshop taught by Sarah Freligh, whose very short stories have been anthologized in New Micro: Exceptionally Short Fiction (Norton 2018), Best Microfiction, and Best Small Fiction.
Very short fiction —stories of fewer than 750 words – is enjoying a literary moment! Flash came of age with the Internet and the subsequent rise of online journals. Participants will come away with three or four flash story drafts.
