How do we bring our characters to life? How do we choose the right words to sharpen our prose? How do we seamlessly connect from one idea to the next? How do we craft writing so infused with musicality that it deserves to be read out loud? These flash fiction courses explore language at the level of words and sentences, encouraging course participants to experiment with new techniques and push their writing to new places. The courses are flexible and work-at-your-own pace. They include opportunities to share your work with other course participants and receive detailed feedback from the course tutor.
