Microfiction Workshop

This workshop is limited to eight participants (two places remaining 4/14/2012). Please email us at info@hootreview to reserve a spot.

In this workshop, we will focus on particularly short fiction–fewer than 150 words. We will begin with an introduction to the form and a discussion of some varied examples of published work. We will discuss possible definitions for this growing genre, venues for publication, and ways to approach both reading and writing such short pieces.

Then, we will give a writing prompt (a fun one!), write some “flash,” and exchange supportive, constructive feedback. You can get our feedback on the piece you wrote for our exercise or on a piece you brought with you.

You can participate even if you have never written a piece of short-short (“flash”) fiction before. Bring something to write with (laptops encouraged for sharing of work).
