WRI 251 - FLASH FICT PROSE POET SH STORY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Professional Writing

Description:

Flash Fiction (also called micro, nano, sudden, or lightning fiction) incorporates literary principles of both fiction and poetry, and we will be exploring this form by reading and writing short-short stories of 1,000 words or less. Individual classes will focus on analyzing the various poetic and narrative elements such as rhythm, figurative language, characterization, voice, etc. Students will also participate in regular workshops during which their writing will be critiqued by their peers. Additional attention will be given to researching literary markets (both in print and online) and the submission process for publication. This is an elective course intended for new writers to experiment and to develop control of their language, as well as more experienced writers seeking to refine their skills.
