WORKSHOP: Learn Flash Fiction with Andrew Gottlieb

Short-short prose can be a thrill to read or write, but it's so often overlooked for more common forms. And what is it exactly? A prose poem? Flash fiction? A short-short story? In this workshop, we'll look at examples of short-short prose, both older and newer, to examine the many ways brief forms can address a subject, whether realistic or surreal, poetic or narrative. We'll do some writing, too. You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for short-short prose, and ideas for new short-short forms you can use moving forward!

Andrew C. Gottlieb lives and writes in Irvine, California. His work has appeared in many journals including American Fiction, Arts & Letters, Best New Poets, Denver Quarterly, Ecotone, The Fly Fish Journal, Mississippi Review, Orion, Poetry Northwest, and Tampa Review. He’s been writer-in-residence in a number of wilderness locations, including three national parks, most recently Denali in Alaska. His newest chapbook is Flow Variations (Finishing Line Press, December 2017.) Say hello at: www.andrewcgottlieb.com.
