“A masterful craft book written by a master of the craft.”

Randall Brown, founder of FlashFiction.net

Finalist for the Indie Book Award

Flash fiction is changing the way we tell stories. Carving away the excess, eliminating all but the most essential, flash fiction is putting the story through a literary dehydrator, leaving the meat without the fat. And it only looks easy.

Enter Going Short: An Invitation to Flash Fiction. In this, her treatise on the form, veteran writer Nancy Stohlman takes us on a flash fiction journey: from creating, sculpting, revising, and collecting stories to best practices for writers in any genre. It is both instructive and conversational, witty and practical, and presented in flash fiction chapters that demonstrate the form as they discuss it. If you’re already a flash fiction lover, this book will be a dose of inspiration. If you teach flash fiction, you’ll want it as part of your repertoire. And if you’re new to the form, you might just find yourself ready to begin.

    Unique writing information

    –For anyone interested in flash fiction as a writer or reader, this book is a most valuable guide in the enjoyment of the genre. Page after page unfolded with wisdom and experience with the art and process. With chapters short, each shares information made very accessible through Ms. Stohlman’s excellent use of our language. This is a book the listener will want to revisit many times, for it affords multiple interpretations as one goes back and reviews the contents. Highly recommended.
