I’m an author and my flash stories have won international awards.
I teach people how to write powerful stories in tiny wordcounts.
I support those who call themselves writers and those who dare not.
My workshops are designed for community organisations and workplaces.
WRITE WITH ME
Flash is a time-friendly writing genre. It’s wonderfully versatile ground to play around in and create beautiful, streamlined prose. Both fiction and nonfiction stories can be crafted and expressed. The skills required to write compelling flash are transferable and will help tighten and strengthen all other forms of writing. Beware. My love for Flash is infectious.
