Long Story Short: The Art of Flash Nonfiction

Additional Information

Flash nonfiction is having a heyday—but what is it?

In this webinar, a panel of three literary nonfiction editors will discuss this exciting and sometimes confounding form. Is a flash essay just a short essay, or is there something else that distinguishes it? How big a story can you tell in a small space? Are there subjects and styles that are particularly well-suited–or not–to flash?

We’ll also discuss the editorial process at different magazines: how do submissions guidelines vary? How do editorial tastes vary? How can you get your submission to stand out in the queue?

In this webinar, you will:

• LEARN how editors make their decisions about what to publish
• CONSIDER the possibilities and limitations of the flash form
• GAIN insight into different magazine’s personalities and processes

There will be time for a Q & A at the end of the presentation. To submit a question in advance email [email protected]

This webinar is ideal for any writer working on a short essay or wondering about the flash form.

All registrants receive a recording.

Closed captioning will be available.
