Los Angeles Review Offers An Online Flash Fiction Class ...

From The LA Review:

Our online workshops are a chance for you to work directly with the editors and the notable contributors of The Los Angeles Review, and to interact with like-minded writers from all over the world. Each four-week intensive workshop will give you the chance to write new work, gain feedback on existing work, and learn fresh angles of approach to writing that can surprise?even startle?both the writer and the reader.

JUNE 1 to JUNE 28

Sweating the Small Stuff: Poetry with Poetry Editor Tanya Chernov
This poetry workshop is designed for writers who want to jump-start their poetry practice, those who want to keep the engine oiled, and those who approach writing and reading with sincerity. If you?ve ever sweated over three words and a comma, you know what we mean. If you believe in inspiration but also believe in plain hard work, this is your jam.

Creating Swift, Tight Miracles on the Page: Flash with Liz Prato
Flash prose is exploding in popularity in our short attention span society, but that doesn?t mean it can?t be packed with emotional resonance and evocative language. In this workshop, you?ll learn how to tell a meaningful story?true or imagined?in less than 1000 words.We?ll discuss published examples of flash fiction & nonfiction, create new work using writing prompts, and examine your work-in-progress in a fun and supportive workshop format. Short-shorts are a perfect way to sharpen your storytelling skills, whether you want to write micro-fiction, a memoir, or a novel. They?re also an excellent avenue for new writers to break into publishing for the first time.

JULY 5 to JULY 29

Yanking the Thread: Discovering Connective Elements in Nonfiction with Editor Ann Beman
This four-week class will be focused on exploring literary nonfiction in a variety of forms. Nonfiction includes a wide range of forms, all of which aim for the same goal: making connections. Students in this course will learn to recognize, analyze, and most importantly, practice several forms.

The Modern Book Review with Editor Joe Ponepinto
The modern book review not only examines the book in question, but also connects the work to literary traditions and discerns its place in art and society?and book reviews are among the fastest avenues to publishing credits in the literary world.

Registration cost for each class is $150, and includes 2 issues of The Los Angeles Review, which will be used as the texts for the class.

Registration opens March 1. Email a 1-page writing sample to LA Review Editor, and include ?Workshop Application? and either ?Poetry,? ?Flash,? ?Nonfiction,? or ?Reviews? in the subject line of your email. Because space in each workshop is limited, we encourage you to apply early.
