The flash form is a thriving literary genre, and also a great way to improve writing skills as you work toward longer pieces – full-length stories, a novel, or a book-length memoir. You might use flash writing as a daily exercise, like a pianist working to stay nimble, or a painter experimenting with color and light. Or you might write flash pieces intended for publication.

Either way, flash is also a fantastic form for experimentation and artistic growth. Dinty W. Moore, editor of Brevity: A Journal of Concise Nonfiction, will review the elements that make flash sizzle, and offer exercises and prompts to strengthen your short form muscles.
