Join the Boston Public Library for this hour-long course taught by Kristen Paulson-Nguyen, a 2020 winner of the inaugural Boston in 100 Words writing contest. You’ll learn about flash and micro-flash fiction and nonfiction, read samples provided, discuss their components, and try writing your own micro-flash pieces. If time allows, participants will have the opportunity to share their work and receive feedback.

Please visit the BPL's Zoom registration page to register: https://boston-public-library.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUuf-GrpjkpG9y88vcDnIdheZYVrGPLgNXF.* Participants should have a pen and notebook ready.
