Fish Publishing Flash Fiction Prize A project of Fish Publishing (see other related projects). About The Fish Flash Fiction Prize is an opportunity to attempt one of the most interesting and rewarding tasks – to create, in a tiny fragment, a completely resolved and compelling story in 300 words or less. The Flash Fiction Stories are wonderfully entertaining to read and challenging to write, but we love them and so do the readers of the Fish Anthology. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. The fee range is EUR €11 to €16 (below average to average for contests).
