The Art of the List Story: A Writing Workshop to Benefit Immigrants' Rights Charities
What You'll Learn
In this 45-minute workshop, we’ll explore the list story—a popular form of flash fiction (short story under 1000 words) that’s great for every level of writer. In less than an hour, you’ll learn what makes a list story effective, read compelling examples, and begin crafting your own original piece.
Whether you’re new to flash fiction or a seasoned writer, this class will provide inspiration and encouragement to create fresh powerful stories.
All proceeds from this class will be donated to charities protecting immigrants’ rights, making this a chance to strengthen your writing skills while giving back.
We'll Cover:
✅ What a list story is and why it works
✅ Why we’ll never run out of new ideas for list stories
✅ How to title your list story for maximum effect
✅ Where to submit your finished story for publication
✅ +BONUS open mic to follow, so you can read aloud your brand new story!
Join us for this fun and engaging session where we’ll turn everyday lists into unforgettable stories!

Why this cause?
Immigrants to the USA contribute needed expertise, ingenuity, creativity, and productivity. They are our neighbors, coworkers, family members, loved ones, and friends.
The current administration’s campaign of demonizing immigrants makes us less safe by depriving our friends and family of essential services like firefighters, hospitals, schools, and police. And, it makes our country poorer by robbing our economy of essential manpower, vision, and expertise.
Protecting immigrant rights is not just about our immediate safety and economy, it is essential for maintaining the integrity of our legal system as a whole. By targeting the most vulnerable members of our society, this administration begins to weaken our right to due process, to equality under law, and our most fundamental constitutional protections.
Our country is safer and stronger when all members of our society are treated with dignity, respect, and access to essential services. Thank you for contributing to this important cause.
