Workshops

Friday, 10/17 | 6pm (ET) | Virtual

In this 2-hour generative workshop, participants will delve into stories told in the form of letters and emails, unraveling what makes them resonate. Prompts will be provided, exploring tone, what is sent versus unsent, and all the characters might have left off the page.

Saturday, 12/6 | 11:00 am – 2:00 pm (ET) | Virtual

In this generative introductory session, students will embody their characters, navigating first, second, and third person perspectives. Through lecture, discussion, and writing prompts, we'll explore how flash writers use each approach to craft stories that resonate with readers — whether through rants and monologues, genre-bending "you," or through retellings and gossip.

Tuesday, 12/9 | 6:00 – 9:00 pm (ET) | Virtual

What lies between first, second and third person perspectives? And how are flash fiction writers using those liminal spaces to challenge genre norms? In this generative intermediate session, we'll push the boundaries of point-of-view: characters will lose their humanity, forms will be bent out of shape, and a singular event witnessed by many will shift depending on who's looking.
