Participants will explore the use of nature in Flash Fiction. Flash, or Sudden Fiction, uses restraint, strong imagery, and a single moment in time to create tiny, powerful stories. We will explore this popular genre using examples from literature and nature themes. Writers of all experience levels - or none - are welcome, and may register for any or all of the sessions. Preregistration is strongly encouraged.

Classes meet on May 26, June 2, 9, and 23 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM (click on the class date to access registration for that date, then scroll down to register using PayPal or a credit card.) To avoid the small processing charge, you can also call the office at 518-875-6935 to register using a credit card, or email Info@landisarboretum.org to get on the registration list and pay at the door. Participation by Zoom will be available. You may register for one or all classes; please complete the registration for each session you wish to attend. Registration is capped at 12.
