Join us for a 90-minute generative writing session focused on writing microfiction!
Fractured Lit is excited to bring this class back to our submitters to help them write exciting and fresh micros they can enter into our yearly Micro Prize.
Editor in Chief Tommy Dean has developed an inspiring and welcoming class where participants can learn craft moves from excellent model texts and write to multifaceted writing prompts. Past students have published stories inspired by Tommy’s prompts in today’s best flash fiction literary magazines.
Microfiction demands that the writer (re)consider every word, every craft move, and every design decision. Writing these stories is a challenge, but a fun one! In this class, we’ll focus on stretching our use of writing elements and craft moves to imbue our microfiction with electricity and resonance.
Need a jump-start to your writing, want to try writing with extreme brevity, or just want to spend some time writing?
We hope you’ll come write with us, so we’re offering this class for the low price of $20 per student! All interested are welcome, regardless of experience.
For everyone registering for this class, we’re offering a reduced fee ($12) to enter our Micro Prize! A separate special link will be sent out at the start of the contest to use the reduced entry rate. The Micro Prize opens on December 1st and awards $2,000 to the winner!
The judge this year is Steve Almond!
Raffle Opportunity!
For an additional $5, participants can sign up for a raffle, with winners selected in early December.
