About this listen

 An author is published regularly. Tim Goodwin and Art Franz are "writers," the people who work and scrape and publish (on occasion) but mostly faceplant, rise, brush off, and repeat. What does it take to learn how to tell good stories? How can I fully realize my characters? How do I gather quality feedback on works in progress? What can I do to punch through writer's block? What must we do to publish work in today's media landscape? No, really. We're asking. But we are also answering! Join Tim Goodwin (professional photographer, Equity actor, improv master, stage manager, and published short story writer) and Arthur Franz IV (board game designer, Learning & Development Manager, Master of Fine Arts, & published short story writer from a loooong time ago) in the corner booth as they bare their souls for your amusement! Real talk from smart, down-to-earth people about how to create quality work. Learn from our mistakes. Get inspired. But most importantly, write.

    An Interview with Emily Rinkema
    May 27 2025

    Tim and Art are joined in the corner booth by author Emily Rinkema for a lively discussion of how to create memorable flash fiction.

    Emily Rinkema lives and writes in northern Vermont. For her real job, she works as a district curriculum and instruction leader, supporting and facilitating professional learning for teachers and administrators. She has written about education for years, but has now shifted almost entirely to writing fiction. Her stories have recently appeared in SmokeLong Quarterly, Variant Lit, Flash Frog, Fictive Dream, Ghost Parachute, and Wigleaf, and she won the 2024 Cambridge Prize and the 2024 Lascaux Prize for flash fiction. She’s been nominated for Best Short Fictions and the Pushcart Prize, but has never been published in (or even had a tiered rejection from) HAD. When not writing or working, she enjoys spending time with Bill, her husband; Chet, her dog; and Jack Reacher the Cat. You can read her work at https://emilyrinkema.wixsite.com/my-site or follow her on X, BS, or IG (@emilyrinkema).
