West Metro Shorts is a new workshop group devoted to short fiction (stories under 7500 words). We will start with some flash fiction exercises before critiquing members' submitted work. As an experienced slush reader for Apex Magazine, I can also offer my advice for submitting your work to professional markets and making it through the slush pile.

Here's the thread for submitting files for critique:

NOTE: If you would like to attend, but have trouble getting to this location, please contact me. I can either change the location to something more accessible or find someone who could give you a ride. Also let me know if you'd like to attend but the date/time doesn't work for you.
