ONLINE: 100 Word Stories

In this 2-hour session, we’ll engage with one of the hottest new genres in writing: the super short form. We’ll tell stories that make us breathless, hopeful, and hungry. Many of us are familiar with the short story, but there’s a whole range of writings shorter than that. Take flash fiction, which is 500 words or under. Or microfiction, which is 300 words or under. Or nanofiction, which is 50 words or under. Taught by a winner of Best Microfiction 2021, the class welcomes people of all backgrounds, including those new to writing. We’ll use word limits to guide us as we engage with prompts and share our work on a voluntary basis. All are free to write fiction as well as nonfiction in this class.
