Short & Sweet: Two New Flash Fiction Drafts with Hannah Grieco — An Online Creative Writing Workshop in Partnership with Strathmore
Creative writing is a tool for knowing yourself, understanding the world, and connecting with other people. Led by author Seema Reza and accomplished guest writers—including poets, memoirists, novelists, and storytellers—these generative community workshops follow the model developed by Community Building Art Works (CBAW) over the course of a decade of bringing people together in military and hospital settings. Each workshop is designed to help participants put their personal stories on paper in a supportive environment.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been writing for years, you are welcome; no experience is required. Bring a pen, a notebook, and an open mind!
Short & Sweet: Two New Flash Fiction Drafts with Hannah Grieco
About This Workshop
This generative workshop will have you reading, brainstorming, and getting a start on two new short story drafts. We’ll focus on flash, keeping our wordcount under 1000 words and focusing on the art of precise, crisp storytelling. We’ll finish with some tangible editing tools to help you finish and polish your work!
