Flash Workshop with Finn Burnett (Public Workshop)

Flash fiction is hot right now and getting hotter!

What does it take to write a killer story that evokes an emotional response and draws readers into your world? In this workshop, Finnian Burnett will use generative exercises, story analysis, and guided questions to help each participant hone their flash fiction skills. We'll talk about subverting point of view, deep character dives, and revision techniques. Come prepared to write. Sharing your work is encouraged, but not required.

About Finn:

Finnian Burnett is a college instructor and a doctoral student who would rather spend their time writing flash fiction, mentoring flash fiction writers, and talking about flash fiction. Finn has won or shortlisted in several flash fiction contests, including the Bath Flash Fiction contest and the Off Topic Publishing contest. They're published in Reflex Press, the Ekphrastic Review, Virtual Verse, Five Minute Lit, and more. Finn's most recent novel was just picked up by a small press and they've turned their attention to writing a queer Shakespeare retelling and a Star Trek themed novella-in-flash.
