Flash Fiction Course (Online)

I'll be teaching the next online flash fiction course starting on September 14, 2009. The four-week course always fills quickly so if you plan to sign on, do it soon (the number of participants is limited). To sign up go to

Got my copy of Rose Metal Press Field Guide To Writing Flash Fiction: Tips from Editors, Teachers, and Writers in the Field (Tara Masih, Editor. Brookline, MA: Rose Metal Press, 2009). The collection of articles on writing flash fiction is outstanding. I am also grateful to the fine writer, Robert Hill Long, for providing me with an outstanding example piece for my own article (on using myth to write flash fiction). To order your copy go to

I'll be posting some reviews on the collection quite soon.
