Tiny Tales: Flash Fiction

Ages: 14 & Up

In this week-long fiction intensive for teen writers, we’ll discuss sharp muses, condensed language, and discover together, how, according to Robert Olen Butler, both yearning and epiphany can occur in the same moment to unlock powerful truths—even in fiction.
