About

What We Want: Original works of speculative fiction in flash fiction or micro-fiction formats. This includes science fiction, fantasy, horror, and their various subgenres, such as: urban fantasy, magical realism, and so forth. Manuscripts that tell stories, not those which overwhelm us with flamboyant descriptions. Flash fiction tales from 200 to 1,000 words. Micro-fiction tales from 55 to 200 words. Opening sentences that grab our attention. Stories that maintain our interest from beginning to end. Plot-driven tales. Snappy dialog. Use contractions throughout your dialog to save word count and make dialog sound more natural. Clear writing. Tight writing.
