Tips for Flash Fiction

Karen Schauber is the person who introduced me to, and published my first, flash fiction and is one of the most prolific and successful flash writers. She was flash editor for Miramichi Reader and a leading light in Vancouver Flash Fiction, which featured regular tips from successful flash writers. This new book available now is a compilation of 300 of those published tips (including one from me, p. 254). If you're interested in writing flash, this might be a place to start/be inspired by.
