2026 Flash Nonfiction Writing Intensives
Let's write small true stories with a big big bite. Registration closes December 15 for the next round of writing intensives: a sustained, in-depth workshop for writers of all experience levels.
Each month from January to May, participants will bring one 250 word story to our in-person workshop. The registration fee of $200 is due January 10 and will include a copy of the Rose Metal Press Guide to Flash Nonfiction. The monthly assignment will include a brief reading and prompt from this excellent collection. We will also read Beautiful Things, a series in the online journal River Teeth. The first and last sessions will be remote and recorded. We are thrilled to offer such an accomplished slate of workshop leaders who will meet you where you are--first time or seasoned nonfiction writer.
​
In person sessions January-May will meet at St. John's Episcopal Church in downtown Youngstown. The morning will include craft discussion and a writing prompt, and in the afternoon our guest writer will lead a workshop.
