August 9th! Master Series Reading and Interview with Aimee Bender

August 6, 2025

This event has passed, but you can watch the recording on our YouTube channel

We are excited to invite you to an interview and reading with Aimee Bender, the author of the collections The Girl in the Flammable SkirtWillful Creatures, and The Color Master; and the novels The Particular Sadness of Lemon CakeAn Invisible Sign of My Own, and most recently The Butterfly Lampshade. Her works have been widely anthologized and have been translated into sixteen languages.

This event is open to the public, but everyone needs to request the Zoom link through the shop if they are not in SmokeLong Fitness. Alternatively, if you have trusted friends who want to attend, you can give them the Zoom link, or you can direct them to the SmokeLong Shop. It’s free! And we’ll be giving away lots of books.

SmokeLong Fitness – The Year-round Community Workshop of SmokeLong

In September 2022 SmokeLong launched a workshop environment/community christened SmokeLong Fitness. This community workshop is happening right now on our dedicated workshop site. If you choose to join us, you will work in a small group of around 15-20 participants to give and receive feedback on flash narratives—one new writing task each week.
