The 29th annual F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival includes panels, workshops, a reading by special honoree Percival Everett, and a keynote address. Kim will present a generative writing workshop, “Writing Short,” looking closely at flash fiction and prose poems, and discussing the charm and challenge of brevity. How do these “short shorts” stop time, center on a single incident or character, and infer a rich backstory? How do we imply deep emotion as we distill the essentials of a story into a single paragraph? We will read some examples, talk about strategy, and then do some short writing of our own. See website for full information and registration.
