Writers Weekend: The Art of Brevity

Co-presented with California College of the Arts

In flash fiction, the whole is a part and the part is a whole. The form forces the writer to question each word, reckon with Flaubert’s mot juste, and move a story by hints and implications. Flash stories are built through gaps as much as the connective tissue of words, so what’s left out of a story is often more important than what’s included. In this workshop, Grant Faulkner, co-founder of 100 Word Story and the author of The Art of Brevity—will discuss how a different type of creativity emerges within a hard compositional limit, exploring the many different forms that short shorts can take. Pay what you can to guarantee a seat; FREE to walk ups space depending.
