Flash Fiction Miscellany

I sent out a new issue of the Flash Fiction Flash Newsletter today. If you subscribe soon then I'll forward you the latest issue (it's free and distributed via email each month). To subscribe send a blank subject header message to FlashFictionFlash-Subscribe@yahoogroups.com This month's Featured Market, by John Young, is The Iconoclast. So subscribe right away to see this and several other flash fiction markets along with other flash literature news.

My next Flash Fiction Course starts October 30, 2006. It's a four-week online course I've been teaching for a few years now (two or three times a year). There are only a couple of spots still open so sign up soon to assure your place in the fast-paced course (number of participants is limited and the course fills quickly). See course syllabus and other information at flashquake http://www.flashquake.org/online-classes/index.html

This summer author Mary Rosenblum from Long Ridge Writer's Group did a live chat interview with me on flash fiction. See the transcripts at http://www.longridgewritersgroup.com/ (click on "online interviews with experts")

You can also see my further reading recommendations/links at http://www.longridgewritersgroup.com/rx/wc08/pam_casto.shtml along with links to various really fine flash fiction pieces on the 'net-- including one of my own flash fiction pieces which was published in the inaugural issue of flashquake http://www.flashquake.org/archive/vol0iss0/fiction/getdirty.html

Soon I'm going to post a review on a new flash fiction/ prose poetry anthology. One you'll certainly want to read. Stay tuned!
