Join us for 90-minute online workshop in the art of writing flash fiction from Gaynor Jones. The workshop will look at varying forms of prose and will include discussing and dissecting unusual pieces by women writers followed by exercises exploring form and structure and the boundaries between prose poetry and flash fiction. Participants will be encouraged to go deeper into the craft of creating beautiful and powerful short works that stand out from the crowd. Gaynor says flash fiction is widely published and easily accessible but has huge variety within it, and therefore it’s a perfect form to study for both emerging and established writers. It’s also a particularly popular form used by women writers internationally, and has proved a brilliant tool for establishing online connections and networks with other female authors. There will be a follow up session on Tuesday 19th November at 7.00pm Gaynor will talk about editing and tweaking language for getting flash-fiction work ready for publication.
