About Matt Bell

Monthly fiction writing exercises!

Welcome to my monthly newsletter containing a custom-designed just-for-the-newsletter fiction writing exercise (intended to produce a whole flash fiction or a start to something longer) as well as reading recommendations and other writing craft discussion. It might later evolve into something else! But that’s where it’s starting.

Why this?

I’ve come to truly love creating new writing exercises for my classes every semester: I tend to write brand new ones for each class, rather than reusing them, and I like to link them to what we’ve been reading together as well.
