Flash 52: 52 Writing Prompts for a Year of Flash Fiction

by Jamie DeBree

Quoted from the Amazon.com webpage for this book: "Flash fiction is an excellent way for writers to tighten prose, learn the elements of story without getting lost in a novel-length manuscript and explore different genres without a big time commitment. This book provides fifty-two story prompts simple enough for the beginning writer to start with, yet complex enough for the more advanced writer to expand on. Originally designed as a year long challenge to write one story per week, the prompts are versatile enough to serve as daily or occasional exercises as well, and easily expandable into longer forms of prose. Also included are hints for getting started, and tips on how to quickly cut and shape a draft into something polished and artistic."

About the author

Jamie works full-time for local government doing database administration and a little web programming. In her free time, she writes…a lot. Mainly romantic suspense, erotic romance, thrillers/horror, and youth action/adventure. I run a micro-publishing company called Brazen Snake Books, and publish a few friends as well as my own books.

I also love to crochet & knit (and shop for yarn!), read, watch Netflix/Amazon/HBO (who doesn’t?), and I collect Smurfs and comic books. I have a husband and two dogs – all of whom keep me amused on a daily basis. I like to cook, I love to eat, and I’m a total tea and wine snob. I have piercings and tattoos and just recently took up target archery for fun.

And of course I love to read. Pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I always have a book or two in progress.
