Come join us Jan 8th at Works Gallery downtown San Jose as the forum kicks off the New Year with stories from our talented local writers. We will expose you to a sensational collection of flash fiction!
October Forum
Our gratitude goes out to all who read and/or came to hear the readings at our October forum. The audience was laughing one moment, near tears in another, and there wasn’t a spare seat in the house!
We had a few stories inspired by John Lennon, recognizing his birthday on the night of our event, October 9th. We had a new type of flash fiction, “found flash fiction”, and we had some participants come from as far as Sonoma and San Francisco.
