Frequently Asked Questions
What is flash fiction?
Flash fiction is also known as micro fiction or short short fiction. Typically, a story is considered to be flash fiction if it is under 500 words. Some say under 1000.
How will this workshop be offered?
This is a live and in person workshop.
What if I've never written fiction?
This workshop has been created for all experience levels. No experience is necessary.
What do I need to have on hand on the day of the workshop?
I suggest that you have your favourite notebook and pen on hand as there will be several timed writing prompts. Some writers prefer to use their computer or tablet. That's fine too.
What if I want to participate in the prompts but don't like sharing my work with the group?
No one is ever forced to share their work with the group. I may ask for volunteers, but you will not be put on the spot or expected to share what you've written.
Will we get feedback on our flash fiction pieces?
This workshop focuses on generating writing through prompts and timed-writing exercises. If you are interested in feedback, visit my website to find out about my manuscript evaluation services or sign up for my newsletter to find out about the feedback-based courses that I offer.
How much does the Flash Fiction Workshop cost?
$95 (CAD)
