What sentence-level narrative devices make flash narratives compelling?

What sets flash narratives apart from other narrative forms?

What is a moment of being?

We’ll discuss these topics and more in the SmokeLong 90-minute live Zoom workshop “Elements of Flash”!

Date: May 13
Time: 2pm EST / 7pm UK (please check for your particular time zone)
Workshop leader: Christopher Allen
