The GWG Presents:
JUDE HIGGINS
SPRING INTO FLASH
SATURDAY 23 MARCH 2024
Where: Maison Internationale des Associations, rue des Savoises 15, 1205 Geneva
Time: 10:30-16:30
MORNING SESSION:
In this session, we’ll start by briefly looking at definitions and examples of flash fiction. I’ll then provide prompts to help you write fast first drafts of stories with seasonal themes of renewal and growth.
AFTERNOON SESSION:
In the afternoon, we’ll look at more examples of flash fiction to show how much can be conveyed in very few words. You’ll take one of the short pieces you wrote in the morning and I’ll introduce several different ways of re-drafting to add colour, depth and meaning to a very short story.
