In this series of online workshops, we will look at flash fiction and other ultra short literary genres that reflect the quick pace of modern life. We will read and discuss micro stories, essays and other literary forms and try our hands at creative writing exercises together.
Requirements: Upper-level English is expected from participants. Bring a pen, a notebook, and your enthusiasm.
