Coffee Shop and Flash Fiction Workshop beginning September 20

The Coffee Shop and Flash Fiction Workshop is an intense social and learning excursion into Fredericton's coffee shop sub-culture for discussions about off-beat topics in contemporary fiction such as the role of sex, violence and humour in fiction, creating characters through stealth and lurking, the use of digital devices for story plotting, e-publishing, and using the Internet as a writer's tool.

Each session will be held in a different coffee shop (or coffee house) and will begin with a one hour open discussion followed by one hour in which each participant will write a flash fiction story based on the discussion topic. Some or all of the stories will be read in the final hour. During the final two weeks, participants will meet with Biff (instructor) to discuss individual writing projects or next steps in their writing careers.

No previous experience is necessary. The workshop will be held on Wednesday’s from 6 to 9 pm beginning September 20.
