About this course:

With daily social media and story feeds, our minds have become accustomed to processing shorter texts that dissolve soon after we read them. This course, Flash Fiction, creates space for you to slow down and transform daily moments into captivating short fiction that compels you as a writer as well as engages your readers. During our seminar, you will read short texts that will inspire you to generate your own flash fiction. With the use of examples and discussion, this seminar will give you the opportunity to flex your imagination and writing muscles to experiment with flash fiction that you can develop to submit to writing competitions and publications or read at open mics.
