An engaging and frank guide to writing the very short story, full of sound advice, exemplary models, and provocative exercises.

FLASH! identifies the qualities that make for excellent flash fiction, demystifies the writing process, and guides writers by exercise and example through the world of the very short story. John DufresneÆs characteristic warmth, wit, and humor remind writers of the joy in the creative process, making this a perfect guide for any writer interested in trying a new form.
