Adopting new forms (such as prose poetry, screenplays, haiku, etc.) as an avenue of play can unlock new directions in your work.

Tim and Art demonstrate best practices of giving and receiving feedback with an unscripted feedback session on Tim's flash fiction! Join us as we hear Tim's story read into the record, Art asking open-ended questions about choices Tim made in the story, Art's impression of the work, written feedback from editors who passed on the story, and finally Tim's decision on how to proceed.
We hope this demonstration shows how a civil, productive conversation is far superior to a confrontation or "battle of wills."
