The Factory: Intro to Flash Fiction with Chelsea Dodds will take place on Tuesday, September 16th from 7 to 8:30 pm in the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts.

This workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the shortest of short stories (1000 words or less). We will read examples of flash stories, work with prompts to write your own flash stories, and discuss avenues for publishing.

Chelsea Dodds's short fiction has appeared in Maudlin House, Rejection Letters, and Sixfold Journal. A graduate of SCSU's MFA program, her writing has recently been supported with a residency at Craigardan in upstate New York. Her poetry chapbook Nothing Good Will Get Away will be published by Finishing Line Press in February 2026.
