Bite-sized Book Club

The Bite-sized Book Club is a monthly online book club dedicated to reading flash fiction. Everyone is welcome, whether you normally read flash fiction or not - the only requirement is that you're interested in reading more!

The group began in March 2025; we meet monthly, and read and discuss around four pieces of flash fiction per session, either from a single author or themed by subject matter/format. Details of each month's readings will be emailed to participants approximately one week before the session, along with the joining link. Wherever possible, the chosen stories will be available to read online for free.

Block 1 2026 dates and themes are:

  • Thursday 15 January 19:15-20:30 (GMT): Stories by Emily Devane
  • Thursday 12 February 19:15-20:30 (GMT): Happy/Positive Stories
  • Thursday 19 March 19:15-20:30 (GMT): Collaborations
(UK time - please check against your time zone if you are elsewhere in the world, and note the points when we change between GMT and BST.)

You can book one or more sessions individually, or three together as a block.

The standard price is £6 per session, or £15 for a block of three. However if cost would be a barrier to your participation, there is the option to pay a reduced price or claim a free place - see booking form for further details and how to pay.

Please complete this form to book sessions in the current three month block (January-March 2026):
