Story Lounge
Night Parrot Press’ flash fiction workshops offer a fresh and exciting approach to writing. With its compact parameters, flash fiction is an accessible and immediate form for writers of all ages and experience levels who might feel intimidated or restricted by traditional and longer forms of writing and storytelling.
In this fun and condensed lunch-time session led by Laura Keenan, you will learn what flash fiction is, what makes a compelling flash story, and how to edit your story to make it diamond-sharp.
Bring your own writing materials and we’ll provide the prompts!
