Flash Fiction chosen by Sarah Vernetti.

“Have a Heart” by Christopher Blaine via The Flash Fiction Press

The first paragraph grabbed my attention. It sets an uncomfortable tone, which continues throughout this modern-day fable.

“Baby” by Stacy Post via Helen : A Literary Magazine

I love surreal stories that involve anthropomorphic plants and animals. This is a suspenseful, well-written piece of flash fiction.

“Untitled” by Alex Salinas via escarp

Escarp publishes Twitter-length fiction. This story proves just how powerful a story can be, even when it’s limited to 140 characters. Beautiful!

“Still Life” by Lane Osborne via The Citron Review

Still Life shows us glimpses of the past, present, and future, all in one brief paragraph. It’s clear that the writer has given careful thought to each word.

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.

    Loved these! I was so afraid for Baby. “Have a Heart” was like a terrible dream in a wonderful sort of way, and I must have read “Still Life” five times. I’ve also found a great Twitter account to follow. Thanks for sharing.
