ORDER HERE: The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Nonfiction
The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Nonfiction, edited by the invaluable Dinty W. Moore, is a lot more than flashy. These thoughtful, thought-provoking essays and exercises have the paradoxical effect of slowing down our attention and encouraging an expansion of the moment, while seeming to be saving writing and reading time. A very useful compilation.”
—Phillip Lopate, author of Art of the Personal Essay
“Flash-in-the-pan? Hardly. The flash nonfiction genre has staying power, and The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Nonfiction will show you why. Opening with a thorough and informative history of the genre, renowned writer, editor, and teacher Dinty W. Moore assembles a cast of writers who share their expertise, suggest writing exercises, and provide exemplary models of the best flash nonfiction being written today. This book is required reading for any writer, editor, or teacher of the brief nonfiction form.”
—Rebecca McClanahan, author of The Riddle Song and Other Rememberings and Word Painting

“Brevity corporate towers,” as in your office at home? And humble, too. I like your humor.
The cover is gorgeous! Can’t wait to read it. Still waiting for your boom on Mindful Writing to arrive ordered from a supplier online…these things take time!! 🙂
Exciting. Rose Metal Press also brought a guide to Flash Fiction I believe.
