Going Short: An Invitation to Flash Fiction (Master Class Series) by Nancy Stohlman

3.0

I write personal essays and am totally new to the concept of flash fiction. I bought this book because it was recommended by Windy Harris in her session on flash at this year's Writer's Digest conference. I was hoping this book would be a bit more insturctional and walk me through creating some flash pieces. I thought I'd be writing some flash pieces by the time I finsihed this and I haven't tackled one yet. I was hoping she would give more examples, too. I think I'll have to read it a second time to truly learn from it. I also plan to explore some journals that publish flash.
