4 Day Flash Fiction Crash Course — Day 1

Meagan Noel Hart
Nov 3 · 13 min read

In 2015, I taught a 4 day Flash Fiction Workshop for rising 8th -12th graders at the Stevenson Summer Writer’s Workshop. We met for 75 minutes each day and progressively moved from short short stories to micro stories. We examined methods, purposes, terminology, and benefits of writing Flash. I have taken the readings and exercises from that workshop, and tinkered just a bit with them for a wider audience here.
