Flash Frenzy
Flash fiction is a story distilled to its essence, a work of a page or two. In this 6-week course, we will read the writing of modern authors who explore and push the boundaries of language, in order to create our own distilled works. We'll meet once a week (TBD) to workshop students' latest endeavors.
Art of the Essay
