This book seems perfect for you if you're enthusiastic about the art of short storytelling or if you teach or write short fiction yourself. With contributions from established writers and editors, this guide doesn't just delve into the history of flash fiction but also offers practical tips and explores the genre's nuances. It's a literary toolbox that both instructs and inspires.
