Join Miriam Gershow and Willamette Writers for a workshop on "The Joy of Flash: How Short Writing Can Jump Start Your Creative Practice."  This event will be held in person at the Downtown Library. To join by Zoom instead, register in advance here. 

Do you feel stuck? Are you missing that spark? In this workshop, we will read and write several pieces of flash fiction as a way to loosen up your creative muscle, get ideas on the page quickly, and find the spark in your writing. This workshop is for new and experienced writers.

Miriam Gershow’s debut novel, "The Local News," was hailed as “unusually credible and precise” and “deftly heartbreaking” by The New York Times, as well as “an accomplished debut” (Publisher’s Weekly) with a “disarmingly unsentimental narrative voice,” (Kirkus Reviews). Her debut short story collection, "Survival Tips," is forthcoming in 2024.

The Eugene chapter of Willamette Writers holds a workshop or presentation at the Downtown Library on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. from September through May, except for December.
