Flash Fiction Workshop with Chad V. Broughman
Big stories can come in small packages! Discover the art of telling a compelling story in just a few hundred words during this engaging Flash Fiction Workshop with award-winning author Chad V. Broughman.
Flash fiction is a unique form of creative writing that packs an entire story—complete with memorable characters, emotion, and a satisfying ending—into a remarkably short space, often 1,000 words or less. Every word counts, making it a fun and rewarding way to spark creativity, sharpen your writing skills, and explore the power of storytelling.
Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply curious about putting pen to paper, this three-hour workshop offers an opportunity to explore the craft of short-form fiction, experiment with new ideas, and discover how even the smallest stories can leave a lasting impression.
Join us at Hessel School House for an inspiring afternoon of creativity, imagination, and storytelling. You might be surprised by just how much you can say in so few words!
Class Fee: $60.00
