Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed Our stories share little in common outside of a love of language; well-crafted sentences and honed rhythm are a must for Driftwood contributors. Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of our favorite authors are William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, Michael Cunningham, John Updike, Don Delillo, Graham Greene, and James Joyce. We stray away from young adult, fantasy, romance, novel chapters, and mainstream mystery fiction. While we're interested in experimentalism and stream of consciousness (not auto-writing), we expect a story to have narrative momentum.Dates:Will be open to fee-based submissions from 01 February 2027* (approx. 147 days from now) through 28 February 2027.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: Flash Fiction: 100 - 1,000 words.
