The growing popularity of fast fiction – short stories under 1,000 words in length and sometimes drastically shorter than that – can be attributed to more than the digitalization of content and the shortening of attention spans. In truth, writers and readers alike are discovering that short fiction need not be lesser fiction. The flash-fiction form allows writers to not only be concise but to be creative in ways they perhaps hadn’t thought possible. This course is a guide to that form and its possibilities.

In this workshop, we’ll define personal essays, and distinguish them from short stories. Examples of essay and short story collections will be shared, and students will get a chance to brainstorm some ideas they are interested in exploring in their writing (sharing those ideas with the class will be optional.) This workshop is for anyone at any stage of writing, whether you have a draft and are unsure of what it could be, or are just beginning your personal writing journey. Students will walk away from this workshop with a clear understanding of essays and stories, and will have a few of their own ideas to work on in the future.
