Level All Levels
A free webinar featuring a panel of three literary nonfiction editors and moderated by Jenn Scheck-Kahn.
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.
