Threads and Breaks:
What makes a piece of writing flash fiction and what makes a prose poem? Join this workshop to explore the difference and find out where your writing fits in.
This 6-week course will generate flash writing portfolios and/or works-in-progress (WIP’s) from a close study of the fine line between flash fiction and narrative poetry, and the ways in which style can subvert and inform substance into an entirely new way of writing and thinking about writing.
In this course, you will learn:
-How to compile and arrange an 8-10 page portfolio of polished flash-fiction pieces or prose poems.
-Innovative editing techniques that transform your work from pedestrian to transcendent.
-How to create polished work that is market-ready.
Each writer will receive:
-A one-on-one consultation at courses' end that prepares the writer's for public exposure ($150 value!)
*Please note: We will skip Thursday November 28 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
