Flash in the Pan: A Witches' Brew of Short Gothic Fantasy Fiction

October 9th | 11 AM ET - 2:00 PM ET

Tuition | $50.00

Capacity: 12 Storytellers

Come join us in the conjurer's kitchen, my pretty. In this cauldron of a workshop we will combine an eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog to concoct gothic flash fiction. Newbie? No matter. You have the ingredients to make an eldritch fantasy from scratch scratch at the door. We'll begin with a bone broth of generative exercises and stir in collaborative experiments like Exquisite Corpse. At the end of our three hours together, you will come away with a few skeletal outlines if not fully fleshed flash fantasy in the key of Creepy.
