We have been running creative writing workshops since March 2024, and have seen over 60 people through 8 sets of classes. We offer an introduction and guide to creating short fiction, especially flash fiction. The classes are queer-friendly, supportive and informative, and they will make you fizz with ideas! We encourage the practical side of putting words on a page, ask you to do short writing exercises both in class and between classes. We hope you'll feel secure enough to read your work out to others, and receive generous but perceptive feedback.
We hope that you will want to put your work forward for the e-magazine we publish, Flash PPink [https://paradisepress.org.uk/e-mag-winter-2025.html], and for the next Flash Fiction anthology we'll be publishing later in the year, Hot Flashes.
We will take new members for the first two of the series, but after that the list is closed.
All we ask is: a serious commitment to learning and writing; some writing materials; an open and generous attitude to the work of others; punctuality.
