This is a flash fiction workshop focused on the “hermit crab” story. Students read several examples of hermit crab stories – which borrow a “shell” from another form, they might be written in the form of a list or an Amazon review or a math problem – and then write their own. They would then share their work verbally with the class and receive verbal feedback on it.
Karin Lin-Greenberg’s first story collection, Faulty Predictions, won the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction, and her second story collection, Vanished, won the Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize. Her novel You Are Here was published by Counterpoint Press in 2023 and was an Indie Next pick from the American Booksellers Association. She’s received a Pushcart Prize and her stories have appeared in The Chicago Tribune, New England Review, The Southern Review, Story, Virginia Quarterly Review, and elsewhere. She teaches creative writing at Siena College in upstate New York and also teaches fiction in Carlow University’s low-residency MFA program.
