Join us for⚡ Flash February ⚡

And write your own short read during the year's shortest month!

How does Flash February work?

You can get in on the fun by joining our FREE pop-up newsletter.

This semi-daily newsletter runs from the 1st to the 29th and is designed to provide you with small pieces of writing inspiration, motivation, and guidance as you work to craft an original piece of flash nonfiction—or maybe more than one!

How does it work?

Nearly every day during February, you'll receive an email from us. The series as a whole will break down the process of taking an idea from conception through to a completed essay.

The weekly schedule looks like this:

Week 1: Getting Started
Week 2: Reframing & Expanding
Week 3: Structuring Your Story
Week 4: Getting Ready for Readers
