Flash Fiction Workshop

Class format and activities

This is a practical creative writing session with a series of set exercises which will help to develop writing skills and allow for creative experimentation with your writing style. Alongside this we will read and analyse a couple of flash fiction stories to identify the skills used by the writers. You will be expected to share excerpts from your work-in-progress with your fellow students for feedback.

Learning Outcomes
