Microfiction Mini Books Books with Stephanie Wolff (Online)

Schedule: Mar 11, 2021 -- 6pm - 8pm (ET);
5pm - 7pm (CT); 4pm - 6pm (MT); 3pm - 5pm (PT); 

A very short story will be the content of a mini artists' book. Participants will write a story in six words and create illustrations. Then bind it into a very simple but versatile book structure. The writing is meant to be a fun exercise, but participants are welcome to use existing stories should they choose. This structure could be used for any kind of content: text or image or both, and can be scaled up in size. To learn more about this writing form, search the internet for “six word stories” or “six word memoirs”. A famous example, allegedly by Hemingway: “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”
