It’s a myth that writing has to be slow and difficult.

It doesn’t.

Are you ready to discover the AMAZING flash fiction or memoir you can write when you follow the right steps?

Some people think writing flash is a mysterious process, that it can’t be boiled down to a formula. 

But the truth is, there IS a formula to writing a piece of flash.

There is a process that writers follow, whether they're aware of it or not.

And that process is reliable. It works for ALL types of writing from literary fiction to genre fiction. 

Writing flash fiction or memoir becomes easy once you know the process. 

Writing becomes fun again, and so deeply rewarding! 

That’s why many authors continue to write flash their whole lives.

Hi, I'm Tessa Smith McGovern. I've been an author/instructor for 26 years and I've taught for The Writing Institute, Sarah Lawrence College, NY, since 2011. I'm the founder of Bloom Writers' Studio online which helps writers of all levels write and publish. I'm co-founder of PitchFest which brings top literary agents to hear pitches from writers in person and virtually and I'm a talent scout for the Allen Literary Agency.

I'm an award-winning writer whose linked short story collection, LONDON ROAD: LINKED STORIES, received a ‘Featured’ review from Kirkus, was an Amazon best-seller and a gold medal winner in the 2012 eLit Awards. My non-fiction book, COCKTAILS FOR BOOK LOVERS (Sourcebooks), was also an Amazon best-seller and the 2014 best-selling gift book for Sourcebooks Inc.

My first flash fiction was published in 1996 and my credits include the Connecticut Review and Equinox, a UK poetry journal archived by the English Arts Council at the Southbank Centre, London. I'm currently writing a fantasy novel inspired by British mythology and completing a low-res. MFA in Writing at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

I write flash fiction, memoir, short stories, and novels and one of my deepest joys is to help my students bloom as they write.

Let me teach you the cure for writer's block and unfinished drafts.

The hard truth is this: Sometimes, even though you yearn to write and know you have stories inside you, life’s just too busy and you haven’t got time to think up any good ideas. It can feel like the Muse has abandoned you.

At other times, you walk around with characters and story ideas in your head and maybe you get a few ideas down on paper - or you even start to write the story - but then things blow up at work or the cat gets ill or your family needs you and those ideas - suffocated by inattention and lack of time - evaporate.

And it can be hard to work on a story when you don’t know if your idea will work in the first place.

What if your idea is boring?

What would be a good first sentence?

How do you craft a satisfying ending?

So days turn into weeks and still you haven’t written the story. Before you realize it, that pressing, once-vital idea evaporates into thin air.

The story that could-have-been never sees the light of day while other writers, with stories that might be less compelling, continue to write and publish.

How do they do it? 

They have a process. 

Imagine if you had a process too...your words will flow and you’ll never lose another idea to the ether again.

And after 30 years of writing and 26 years of teaching, I've discovered the #1 most effective way to get your flash fiction or memoir written.

Even if you've started and abandoned a piece of flash before, or even if you’ve never even begun to capture your ideas on paper…

It's not too late to start. 

I promise you, it's not too late to turn everything around.
