Historical Flash Prose with Rebecca Meacham

This craft workshop is for emerging to intermediate writers and focuses on writing historical flash prose, in either fiction or nonfiction. The workshop will include reading, drafting, workshopping, refining, and revising one or two flash pieces. The goals of this workshop are to introduce students to the historical prose form; generate writing through a prompt or two; revise for sound, image, form, and economy; and, ideally, have students end up with at least one near-finished piece.

Class meets online via Zoom. A link to join the class will be sent within 24 hours of the first session.
