This form lends itself well to the surreal, the hyperbolic, and the fantastic, as well as more literary efforts. In this workshop, we'll talk about the form and its demands and perform in-class writing exercises designed to get you started writing flash fiction, followed by a discussion of how to turn your fragments into flash, how to submit them to magazines, and an overview of flash fiction markets.
