Flash Fiction Workshop

Catalog description

We live in an age of condensed information. Where does the art of fiction fit into our soundbite-driven lives? Short-form fiction - also called flash fiction, sudden fiction, or microfiction - is more than just “really short stories.” Every word in a piece of microfiction is the proverbial ant, carrying fifty times its own weight. Students will read short-short works of fiction and will write and workshop their own. To learn more about this course, visit the Creative Writing Program at https://creative.writing.upenn.edu.
