National Flash Fiction Day Anthology

The theme for this year’s National Flash Fiction Day Anthology is BRIDGES.

What does the theme mean to you? Burning bridges, crossing over from one place/time/event to another, a bridge in music, or a visit to the dentist? Or does it conjure up a person with that name, a feat of engineering, or part of a ship? There are so many possibilities with this theme, including lots we haven’t mentioned, so we hope you have fun with it and bring us something original and brilliant. You do not need to use the theme word in your piece.

Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish, in 500 words or fewer. Selected flashes will be published in National Flash Fiction Day's 15th Annual Anthology. Payment is one contributor's copy of the anthology. Two pieces will be chosen for an Editor's Choice Award which comes with a £50 prize.

This year’s editors are Karen Jones and Sharon Telfer.
