Robbie Shapard is co-editor of two new books of very short stories from W.W. Norton: Flash Fiction Forward (August 2006) and New Sudden Fiction (January 2007). His own very short stories, Motel and Other Stories, won the Predator Press national chapbook competition.
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.
