Flash Fiction Groups
Registration Open Now
June 3 – July 3, 2026
Looking for a summer challenge? Meet fellow writers, learn more about craft, draft new flash pieces, and connect with a speculative fiction community with the annual Clarion West Flash Fiction Groups!
The Flash Fiction Groups are a structured way for you to start with small group critiques and deadline-driven story generation.
You’ll be placed in a group of five to seven likeminded writers. Every week for four weeks, there will be a pre-recorded video lecture, a deadline for a new flash piece, and several flash stories from your group to critique. Prompts will be offered to ignite your creativity and of course, your submitted pieces will receive critiques as well!
Learn the positives and challenges involved with group critiquing and workshopping stories.
