Online Workshop: Fiery Flash Fiction with Meg Pokrass
£15.00Date: Thursday 25 March, 1pm-2.30pm
Venue: Online via Zoom
Learning to write flash fiction is like becoming a mad inventor. Experimentation is the key to success. About the allure of flash fiction, Jayne Anne Philips says: “…the realized one-page fiction must move palpably beyond the page, like a ghost self… should hang in the air of the mind like an image made of smoke.”
In this prompt-driven, work-generative workshop, we’ll discuss:
- The necessary spring-board of strong first lines
- Use of vivid sensory detail and why it seduces the reader
- Bothering you characters – defining conflict in tight prose
- Trusting the reader
- Inventive structure
- Where to publish flash fiction
There will be timed writing exercises. Have your writing pads to hand and get ready to write up a storm.
Meg Pokrass is the author of five flash fiction collections and two novellas-in-flash. Her work has appeared in anthologies and magazines worldwide.
This event will take place on Zoom and we will email you a link prior to the event. If you haven’t used Zoom before, don’t worry! A guide to using Zoom will be up on our website shortly, along with a date for a free Zoom training session.
Limited to 20 participants; please book early to avoid disappointment.

Tuesday 23 March – Monday 5 April
To commemorate a year since the first lockdown (23 March 2020), HLF has commissioned a stunning Lockdown Lantern Installation: a giant metal tree festooned with lanterns and displaying words of hope to inspire the local community as they walk past.
The Installation, created by Huddersfield-based company AniMATronics, will be on display in the Laurence Batley Theatre courtyard from 23 March 2021 – a year on from the first lockdown – to Easter Monday, 5 April. It will serve as a commemoration, a memorial and an inspiration to remind us of the challenges we have faced in the past year and to look forward to more positive days ahead. The Installation will light up every evening with lanterns created by local artist Angie Boycott-Garnett.

A fantastic opportunity to take part in a workshop led by Costa Book of the Year Award-winner, Monique Roffey, in a small group of just 15 people.
What do you need to think about before you set out to write the first draft of a novel? This is your chance to get expert advice from the winner of the 2020 Costa Book of the Year Award, and senior lecturer at Manchester Writing School, Monique Roffey.
Monique will discuss the ‘process before the process’ of writing, ie research, plotting and building characters and thinking about motifs. In short, all the work you need to think about before setting out on your first draft. She will discuss drafting and word counts, and she will unpack a realistic process of how to capture a first draft of a novel. There will also be handout material from Orhan Pahmuk’s essay ‘What Our Minds Do When We Read Novels’. Come prepared to listen, take notes and ask questions.This 90-minute workshop will take the form of a 30-minute talk followed by a Q&A and then a writing exercise.
This talk will take place on Zoom and we will email you a link prior to the event. If you haven’t used Zoom before, don’t worry! A guide to using Zoom will be up on our website shortly, along with a date for a free Zoom training session.
