A wonderful opportunity to explore a genre that teaches you how to tell great stories within a limited word count. Creativity, precision, discipline and care are needed to write flashes, and all these skills allow you to hone your craft as a writer like nothing else.
Please join Kerry for one or both of these workshops, and have the opportunity to submit your flash to one of her In Other Stories anthologies, published annually by Karavan Press.
Sometimes we have a personal story we want to tell but it feels too large or too overwhelming. What would it mean if you wrote that story as a piece of flash? Join writer and writing facilitator Kerry Hammerton to explore the art of writing flash creative non-fiction/memoir and fiction, or writing short. We will read interesting examples of flash and use them as a stepping stone to generate writing. The workshop will be interactive with a number of exercises and creative ways of exploring writing ideas. You will leave with a number of pieces of writing that you can edit and incorporate into a larger piece of work.
“Writing is a mode of reading is a mode of writing is a mode of thinking is a mode of feeling.” Lance Olsen
