About the course
Over the course of four sessions, you will draw inspiration from existing flash fictions and explore different elements, such as structure, character voice and word choice, that make stories come alive for the reader.
You will write to a range of prompts and come away with a wealth of new ideas and fresh stories.

Cost:
£50 / £25 concessions
In order to make our resources stretch further, we have to subsidise some workshops with nominal fees well below most online courses. The more who book at full price, the more we’ll be able to offer.
Concessionary places are available for those on benefits, pensioners, unemployed/underemployed or on low wages. We do not ask for proof that you qualify.
If concessionary spaces aren’t displayed below, they are fully booked. We can add you to the waiting list if you e-mail info@creativefuture.org.uk.
Other workshops
We are offering as many workshops and as many places as our resources allow—they are heavily subsidised by our limited funding.
You might also want to have a look at other workshops on offer elsewhere.
