Flash Fiction Writers Panel

We’ll be talking with the profoundly published Bruce Meyer and multidisciplinary artist and writer Lynn Hutchinson Lee about writing Flash Fiction. Join us to learn why they think it’s beneficial for writers of all genres to use micro and flash fiction writing to hone their skills. As always, Stick around for Open Mic, where we get to experience local talent, and you get to share your work.
