Flash Fiction chosen by Grace Black

“Mourning After” by Mark Farley via Unbroken Journal

This is the exact form of micro flash I consume for breakfast. Screw the food pyramid, this is flash built from the ground, layer by layer. Great read.

“The Darkest Blue” by Chris Milam via Maudlin House

Clever turns of phrase and solid prose with a purpose. It’s always a delight to see Milam’s work in print. Clever ink.

“Men at Work #133” by Robert Laughlin via After the Pause

There is lovely juxtaposition in this short bit of prose. A snippet of time that says, ‘read me!’.

“Swollen River” by Fikret Pajalic via Third Point Press

From the title to the ending, everything about this story is executed with deliberate pacing and skill. A joy to read.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

    “‘Men at Work 133”—Bravo. Excellent commentary on tradition vs convenience. I love the raptor vs blue jay line. Great imagery.
