National Flash Fiction Day & ‘Flash In The Pan’ Fun!
On Wednesday night I was honored to be a guest reader at Christchurch’s Flash In The Pan event, celebrating National Flash Fiction Day.
The event was lively and it was a privilege to hear so much great flash fiction read.
Highlights included six guest readers:
.
-
Alice Andersen
- Doc Drumheller
- Jane Higgins
- Ciaran Fox
- Helen Lowe
- Frankie McMillan
The evening also focused on hearing finalists and winners from three competitions: for Micro fiction (< 100 words), the SIWA and NZ Flash Fiction competitions.
I thought all the short (short!) fiction read was of a very high standard and that the overall NFFD winner, Heather McQuillan’s Trampolining in the Matukituki, was a worthy winner.
