On today's episode, we are excited to be joined by the 2019 winner of the Indie Author Project - Ran Walker! We're talking about writing short stories and flash fiction! We'll touch on what defines a short story and various types of flash fiction, as well as the differences in the writing process, finding inspiration, and marketing when it comes to marketing short fiction versus a standard novel.
