Fall 2026 Flash Memoir Workshop
Ends on
Peatsmoke Journal is holding our very first flash memoir workshop!
Editor-in-chief Wendy Wallace will lead an online generative workshop on Saturday, September 12 from 2-4pm EST. We’ll read published works, discuss craft, and dive into writing together as a supportive community. We’ll explore what flash memoir allows us to say and delve into, and how small spaces can hold huge narrative power.
In addition to the 2-hour class, Wendy will meet one-on-one with each participant for a 30-minute session. During the session, participants may bring a piece from the class or another draft for an in-depth workshop. Feel free to bring other questions about writing and publishing to the meeting as well -- this is your time!
The workshop is capped at 6 participants. To apply, please fill out the form below. We’re excited to welcome people in all stages of their writing career and from all backgrounds and experience, especially traditionally underrepresented writers.
We’re excited for you to write with us!
