P1 Flash Fiction

Whatever name you choose for it—short-short, sudden, minute, micro, or flash—don’t be fooled by the diminutive stature of this genre; powerful storytelling can be found in the briefest of forms. In this seven-week online course, students will learn and practice the process of writing and critiquing flash fiction. This course translates the traditional workshop format of creative writing courses into an online experience, and the majority of students’ time each week will be spent reading, discussing, writing, and responding to very short works of fiction written by their classmates.
