About

In a flash, everything is changed. The Atomic Bomb. Capable of obliterating everything. Entire cities and neighborhoods, vaporized. Minds, altered. Nature's power rearing up to her full, gnashing height. That's what we want from flash fiction for our contest. To feel the heat of language melt our faces. For your story to encompass the entirety of the horizon, and change our landscape irrevocably. For the radiation of your poetry to clatter in our minds for years after reading it. So send us your detonations. Your Ground Zeros. Your radiations and your fallouts. Nuke us with your writing.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
