“Flash fiction has its own feel and sound—it’s not simply a shorter story. In this three-hour intensive workshop, we’ll first home in on the sentence level elements that make a flash narrative exciting and unique, then go even deeper ... We’ll explore the editing concepts of compression and expansion, essential techniques for the flash writer." Christopher Allen
