This makes flash fiction an ideal form for readers who want to go on a short but thrilling ride in less than 1\,500 words. But how does a writer tell a potent and satisfactory story in such a short form? \nIn this introductory workshop\, participants will study different types of flash fiction\, discuss effective strategies for working within the constraints of this form\, and complete in-class writing prompts with the goal of developing these exercises into more polished flash pieces. Finally\, for those interested in sharing\, time will be set aside during the second class for students to share their flash-in-progress with the group. \nStudents will leave this workshop with the following: \n\nAn understanding of the fundamentals of flash fiction\nStrategies for generating successful flash fiction\nA first-draft flash fiction piece\n\nRead Andrew’s Writer’s Desk here!\n\nANDREW PORTER is the acclaimed\, award-winning author of the story collections The Disappeared (Knopf 2023) and The Theory of Light and Matter (Vintage)\, and the novel In Between Days (Knopf).
