How to focus your flash fiction and not waste a word
Anything small needs to make a big impact. Flash fiction’s intensity of flavour is there to savour even if it lasts only a few moments. This burst of a story should live in your senses to be revisited often. Discover why every word of your micro story should count – including the all important title – and how to make it fly high.
