Celebrate with us!
We'll be celebrating this year's National Flash Fiction Day in Birmingham with in-person workshops and the launch of our 2024 anthology. Details can be found here. (We are currently sold out, but do contact us if you'd like to be on the waitlist!)
If you can't make it, fear not; we'll announce some online offerings soon. Keep an eye on our news feed for more....
Read with us!
For 24 hours straight starting at 00:01 BST on Saturday, 15 June, FlashFlood, NFFD's curated online journal, will be publishing one flash every 5 to 10 minutes over at NFFD. Check in at half past the hour every hour from start to finish for our Debut Flash Series — new stories written by previously unpublished flash writers.
Write with us!
Over at NFFD’s The Write-In, we’ll be posting a flash prompt every hour on the hour from 00:00 – 24:00 BST on National Flash Fiction Day, 15 June 2024. You'll then have 24 hours to submit your responses for a chance of publication. Publication of responses begins on 16 June 2024 and doesn't finish until the team is done reading through all the wondrous things you send us!
If you'd like to tackle The Write-In with others, Audrey Niven of Propelling Pencil is running a free one-hour workshop from 9am - 10am BST based around the prompts at The Write-In. Sign up here: https://thepropellingpencil.com/workshops/
Then, from 11am - 12noon BST, Anita Goveas is giving a free workshop to any and all who wish to celebrate National Flash Fiction Day in flashy style. Tickets are free but places are limited. You can reserve your space here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/national-flash-fiction-day-flash-fiction-workshop-tickets-907669924177

As usual, we'll be posting all our prompts and FlashFlood stories on Twitter @nationalflashfd and will be around on Facebook at facebook.com/nationalflashfictionday
