A New Zealand champion of flash fiction - ultra short stories - has just published what's described as a hybrid of small fictions and poetry called 'the other side of better'.
In Michelle Elvy's collection, a character called the Fuddy Duddy Editor shares her advice on writing throughout the 140 plus poems and prose.
The launch in Dunedin on Friday coincided with the official opening of 2021 National Flash Fiction Day celebrations around the country. It's the event's 10th anniversary.
Lynn Freeman talks to Michelle about this uusual mixture.
