"Kathy Fish is a master of flash fiction. I love her writing - it always inspires me to write from deep and interesting topics - and she is a generous and insight teacher. Her newsletters have been filled with insightful flash tips and prompts as well as links to great stories. I am looking forward to learning more as a subscriber." ~Kerry Hammerton, paid subscriber

About Me: I’ve been writing and teaching flash fiction for more than twenty years. My stories have been widely published in journals, anthologies, and textbooks. My work has been published in Ploughshares, Guernica, Swamp Pink, Electric Literature, Best American Nonrequired Reading, the Norton Reader, and Norton’s Flash Fiction America (2023). Honors include the Copper Nickel Editor’s Prize, six appearances in the Best Small Fictions series, and a Ragdale Foundation Fellowship. The author of five short fiction collections, I teach a variety of creative writing workshops online. As a sought after writing instructor, I’ve taught in-person workshops for the Flash Fiction Festival in Bristol, UK, the West Cork Literary Festival in Ireland, the Fort Collins Book Festival in Colorado, and at writers’ retreats in Costa Rica, Italy, France, and Iceland.
