Crafting Satisfying Story Endings

How many times have you read a flash, a story, a novel even and the ending feels flat? Doesn't land with the punch you'd hoped for? Endings are important, that's why they're so hard! Join us as we discover what it takes to create an ending that is satisfying.

The ending is the last thing a reader experiences, what lingers with them long after they've finished. A weak ending can undermine everthing that went before it. Whereas a strong ending enriches everything, lets the reader see previous moments in a whole new light.

In this workshop we will look at endings in flash fiction specifically, and how to land that end with emotional resonance even with the constraint of a reduced word count.
