Have you been enjoying the pictures from our Grand Lake and Italy retreats these past months? (Instagram and Facebook)
Well, get excited, because we’ll be returning to some of our favorite places and welcoming some new faces (giving Kathy a welcome break from all that travel!) next year! Robert Vaughan will be joining me in France next June, Selah Saterstrom will be joining me in Iceland next October, and Kathy Fish and I will be welcoming you back to our home state of Colorado in August!
And yes, there is still ONE SPOT LEFT in Tulum, Mexico this January! MORE HERE:
Start dreaming, and mark your calendars for October 11!

You have a book inside you. It could be your first book or your seventh. It could be a novella-in-flash, a linked collection, a flash memoir, a flash novel or another sort of hybrid form. You love the short prose form, but you’re ready to think bigger–a book, but using the tools of the micro form.
When a story speaks to us–when it chooses us–we must listen.

Maybe you’ve already started. Maybe it’s still in your head. Either way, you suspect an untraditional book, using an untraditional structure, might need some unconventional methods. And you are right!
I call this the “flash book” in Going Short, and it is my personal sweet spot; I find the most fulfillment when I’m embracing both the narrow focus of the pieces themselves–the “bricks” of the story—as well as the long-term relationship of building a bigger structure with those bricks. I’ve written four flash novels as well as a linked collection, and since 2015, I’ve been leading groups of writers through the ups and downs of the book-writing process–from the giddy flush of a beginning all the way to the powerful, resonate ending.
Does this speak to you? If so, join me for a 10-day generative exploration and writing adventure, a “flash flood” with your book or book idea, and gain clarity, momentum, and enthusiasm on both your vision and your next creative steps.
Give yourself the gift of 10 days this August to play, experiment, and understand your story more fully, so that you can do the necessary work of bringing it to life!
Join us for $259 here (regular price $299)
Questions? Feel free to drop me a line. I’d love to work with you and your book!

P.S. This 10-day, asychronous workshop is also designed to lead into the full Flash Novel Mastermind, opening in September, for those who are ready to keep going. Want to do both? Drop me a line!
