On Friday, July 24th, KT will be teaching an intensive workshop on writing and publishing flash prose – fiction and creative nonfiction—as part of the SOMOS Taos Writing Conference (taking place from the 24th through the 26th). Like so many such events, the conference has moved entirely online, and KT’s class will now consist of two two-and-a-half hour Zoom sessions with  follow-up consultations.

Writing & Publishing Flash Prose – In a Flash!

 Literary journals and magazines, once primarily found only in library stacks and English professors’ offices, have migrated online and multiplied, bringing with them a new generation of wired readers with an insatiable appetite for flash fiction and nonfiction. Part prose poem, part portraiture, part tightly plotted prose, flash pieces are not only fun to write but in great demand. They are the perfect way for the unpublished author to get their first acceptance and the published author to introduce their work to new audiences. By the end of the day, after lots of writing exercises and careful reading of flash pieces, you’ll leave class with solid start—if not a full first draft—of a flash masterpiece. In the month following the workshop, KT will stick with you and your work—she’ll read a final draft of a project you start during class, help you polish it, and offer advice on getting the piece published (an extra critique service included in the price of the workshop).
