Flash Fiction Boot Camp is a 12-day intensive course for serious writers taught by the Editor-in-Chief of Flash Me Magazine, Jennifer Dawson. She is joined by Flash Me Magazine's Senior Managing Editor, Elizabeth Hull. |
Each participant must have three unpublished short stories under 1200 words that they have submitted and had rejected from at least one market prior to enrolling in this course. The goal is to have stories you feel are ready for publication, and proof of that is a collection of rejection letters. If you don't have any rejection letters, start submitting!
Every participant will:
1) have one story edited offline by the instructor
2) have one story reviewed online by peers
3) use one story in a variety of exercises
4) be challenged to write new stories through daily writing exercises.
At the end of each session, selected stories may be published in the Special Features section of Flash Me Magazine. We selected seven boot camp stories from the first session, and five from the second session. Click here to see what past participants had to say.
The next session will be September 13-24, 2010. Interested participants must register between August 1st and August 30th.
Participation will be limited to the first fifteen people, so sign up early. Tuition for this session will be $25 US. Discounted rates are available to FMM paid subscribers, to members of the Online Writing Workshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, and to those who registered before August 15, 2010.
Every session we will offer one scholarship to a deserving author who cannot afford the tuition. Anyone interested in applying for the scholarship should contact us at ffbc (at) wingedhalo.com prior to August 1st.
Only after you have been accepted into the session will we ask you to complete the registration process by submitting your tuition payment.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer at ffbc (at) wingedhalo.com.
