Write sci-fi and fantasy stories that build a unique world without weighing your reader down. Speculative flash fiction (stories of 1,000 words or fewer) can evoke great depth, rich detail, and powerful narrative impact, even within a tight word count. This 4-week workshop digs into language, form, and structure to help students craft their own one-of-a-kind speculative flash stories. By reading contemporary flash pieces in leading genre magazines, students will explore what makes these stories work and gain the tools to revise and submit their own writing for publication.
Jennifer Hudak (she/her) is a speculative fiction writer whose work can be found in venues such as The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, ECO24: The Year’s Best Ecofiction, Strange Horizons, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet. She is a Nebula Award Finalist and a graduate of the Viable Paradise writer’s workshop. Originally from Boston, she now lives with her family in Upstate New York where she teaches yoga, knits pocket-sized animals, and misses the ocean.
