Over four Friday mornings in September we held an Introduction to Flash Fiction writing course facilitated by writer Byddi Lee at Lurgan Library.

Flash fiction is a concise form of fiction, characterised by its brevity, typically ranging from a few words to 1,000 words. In this introductory course Byddi Lee provide creative writers of the Lurgan Writing Club with the necessary skills to create a compelling narrative in a handful words, focusing on a single idea or moment. 

Thank you to Byddi for facilitating such a great course which produced some fantastic writing from all the partipants.
