Middles, Endings and Beginnings

A flash fiction workshop with Debbi Voisey

This workshop is included with our membership. If you’re not a member yet, sign up here to watch this session and over 40 other video workshops in our archive, all focused on writing great fiction.

Break free from linear storytelling! Discover the hidden power that lies in every section of your story, then learn to wield that power by flipping, twisting, and reshuffling the pieces for maximum impact.

We’ll start by dissecting what makes each story segment tick — the unique job of a gripping opening, a compelling middle, and a satisfying conclusion. Then comes the fun part: experimenting with bold structural choices that can transform your narrative from predictable to unforgettable. What happens when you lead with the ending? How do you hook readers when the middle becomes the beginning?

This interactive workshop will give you the tools and confidence to play with structure, creating stories that surprise, delight, and linger long after the final page.
