UPDATE: We quickly reached our submission limit, but we invite others to join the meeting and add their observations to the mix! We'll observe the 15-minute limit discussion per piece, so comments should be succinct. We've also enabled a waitlist to submit, should any entrants bow out.
Join your OCWW colleagues writing short form for feedback and fun at our first flash forum. Submit your pages for a constructive, incisive critique by your peers and prepare to offer the same in this two-hour moderated session.
Eight members writing flash, essay and short story in multiple fiction and non-fiction genres are invited to share their works-in-progress. Come prepared to comment on key craft elements and receive similar input. No content restrictions, but all manuscripts should be intended for publication as stand-alone pieces, not a section of a longer work.
Considering meeting time constraints and the effort required to critique all participating manuscripts, we made the group as large as we thought possible.
