If you feel stuck at this phase of the process, take heart: This is one of the most common questions I get from writers working on a flash manuscript. But there is good news: this part of the process is creative, inspiring, and can be be approached with your own unique vision, resulting in a product that is much more than just putting various pieces under one roof.

Flash Fiction Books: Putting it all Together

April 2-30, 2018

In the Flash Fiction Books online course we will learn from different kinds of flash books, including anthologies, collections, novellas-in-flash and flash novels. So whether you are an editor designing an anthology or journal, an author attempting a collection, or you are embarking on a flash novel or novella, the transition from the narrow to the wide view of a body of work can ultimately be just as rewarding as the writing itself.

Learn strategies, avoid pitfalls, and gain new inspiration for how to package flash fiction for the world..
