Writing Flash Fiction
4 weeks | Google Classroom | beginners + beyond | starts Monday 4th November 2024 (modules go online Monday morning; log in whenever during the week suits)
This 4-week course is designed both for beginners and writers with some experience who would like to develop their understanding and practice of flash fiction - short stories usually under 500 words that can convey a lot in a short space but also present particular challenges for writers.
The course is conducted via an online classroom which is accessible 24/7, allowing participants to check in with that week’s module, assignments, and discussions at whatever time of the week suits best. Each week you’ll have material to read and exercises to try, and by the end of the 4 weeks you should have drafts of several pieces of flash fiction, as well as constructive criticism to help you improve and develop those stories.
Module 1: Introduction/Ideas
Module 2: Snapshots/Sagas
Module 3: Shape/Voice
Module 4: Precision/Playing with format
