In my generative Zoom classes, I often wish I had more time to invest in each example story, to fully expose its foundations, to bring to light the craft moves made by the writer, and to discuss the story’s merits with my students. I wish I had more time to build community with all of you, to find the joy in discussing the value of flash fiction and how exhilarating it can be to bend and break the traditional writing rules and precepts.
Frankly, I’d love to spend more time working together to find new ways of expressing craft moves and elements in our flash fiction, to learn from the masters of the form, to create an in-person form of community. To do that, I want to create this club, where we meet on Zoom 1 time per week to analyze and discuss 1-2 flash/micros and then spend time writing together.
How it works:
Meet 1x per week for 5 weeks (75 minutes per meeting). Each session is recorded.
Participants will receive the story/read the story before the meeting. (Stories will be found in litmags online).
I will develop a brief lecture/analysis on how the story(s) work to show a particular craft move(s).
We will discuss the story(s) as a group. Share as much or as little as you want each week.
I will provide a writing prompt based on the story(s). We will have time to write and share a piece of our draft.
At the end of five weeks, each participant can turn in a draft of one flash for my feedback/critique.*
Cost: $20 per session or $85 when paying for the full 5 weeks
When: Fridays, Fridays, April 11th-May 09, 2025
Times: 10-11:15 am EST and 3-4:15 pm EST
*Participants must at least pay for 4 out of 5 sessions to receive a critique.
This is so exciting! Would love to join. Where is the link to sign up?
