Publisher's Summary
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.

The definitive book on writing flash fiction
This audiobook complements the original text version beautifully. Read by the author, it is filled with Nancy’s trademark grace and flair. As well as a talented author, Nancy is a teacher at the top of her game. Her passion for flash fiction flows from every phrase, and her desire to pass on a lifetime of learning is evident. There is so much useful information contained within for writers of every level, but also for writers of any genre. Poets, novelists and short story writers will find plenty of inspiration and a fresh perspective too. Nancy brings her formidable singing and performing background to the narration, making it an absolute joy to listen to. Are you flash curious? I can’t think of a better place to start. 5 stars
