Are you flash curious? Keen on micros? Flex your writing muscles in this free Totally Lit workshop with Mabel Gibson presented at Fremantle Library.

The workshop will offer an overview of the form, techniques for writing flash fiction or micro memoir, examples of published stories, and prompts for writing your own flash or micro piece.
