This workshop is designed to give experienced flash fiction writers the opportunity to give and receive feedback on multiple pieces in progress. Each writer will receive feedback from the group and instructor on at least two pieces (up to 1000 words each), through a Workshop Google Doc (for written comments), followed by a discussion in class on the piece. Instead of remaining silent, writers will be an active part in the conversation about their work, with a focus on concrete revision options. Each week, we will also cover relevant craft topics, though this will be informed by the pieces we workshop that week. In addition to workshopping, we'll look at published flash fiction with an eye toward key craft elements such as language, detail, narrative time, sentence-level craft, among others. We'll also spend time talking about literary magazines and where to send polished flash pieces after revision, and participants will also engage in a literary magazine research and sharing activity. Throughout the six weeks, each writer will have the opportunity to conference one-on-one with the instructor after their final workshop, to talk more in depth about their work and next steps. For experienced flash fiction (or memoir) writers. Admission by application, or permission of the instructor. Limited to 8 writers. 


WHEN: 6 Weeks: Mondays, April 19 - May 24 (6 - 8pm EST)

WHERE: Online, via Zoom video conference

RECEIVING THE ZOOM LINK: For one-day workshops, we send out the link to attend the Zoom session 1 - 2 days before the event, via email. For multi-week workshops, you should receive info and the link about 3 - 5 days before. Please mark your calendars when you first register and look for our emails. If you don't see the email in your inbox on the day before the class, please check your spam and junk mail folders (and search all folders) for an email from joy@pioneervalleywriters.org before contacting us. We have found that very often our emails end up in those folders. This is based on your own email settings, and you can prevent this by adding our email as a contact.


ONLINE SESSIONS happen remotely, via Zoom video conference. All you need is a laptop, computer, or phone with functioning audio and a webcam. Those who RSVP receive directions and a link to "join" the session via email (please see above note about receiving the Zoom link). All online instructors will log on to the video conference a few minutes before the start of the session, so please plan to log on early if you'd like assistance! We'll do everything in our power to help you get comfortable with the Zoom format, though we are not able to offer technical assistance beyond basic Zoom orientation.

What People Are Saying About PVWW

"Can't say enough about PVWW, Joy, and her amazing team of teachers! Writing is very much about the ability to sit in your seat for hours and put pen to paper, but coming to PVWW has helped me build a community around my writing, breathe new life into my efforts, and get out of my own head a bit. And beyond that, I've learned lots of practical, nuts-and-bolts techniques that have vastly improved my work."
- Emily Everett, Editor at The Common
