About

Flash fiction authors continue to demonstrate the richness and depth of story that can be achieved with utmost concision. Read in a single sitting, these little tales are capable of conjuring stunningly vivid worlds which leave us turning the page for more. Flash fiction is an exciting story form, currently enjoying soaring popularity at least in part because it's the ideal length for quick consumption in today's fast paced world. Flash fiction competitions represent a wonderful opportunity for emerging writers to demonstrate their ability and secure publication. They also offer established writers an exciting arena in which to showcase new work. We believe in flash fiction, literature, and in the importance and magic of new writing.
