I am sharing the news that I have decided to step down as Co-Director of National Flash Fiction Day (UK).
This year marked National Flash Fiction Day’s tenth anniversary, which is a huge milestone not only for National Flash Fiction Day itself but for the celebration of flash fiction within the community in the U.K. and across the globe. I joined the team in 2015 and it has been remarkable to see National Flash Fiction Day and the flash fiction community itself blossom over the years. It has been a real privilege to be a part of this story, but I feel that our tenth year marks the right moment for me to pass one of the torches on to someone new.
I want to thank everyone who I have had the utmost joy to work with over the years. With a project such as this there will always be too many people to name, but I would like to thank Calum Kerr for masterminding National Flash Fiction Day in the first place, and Kevlin Henney, Tim Stevenson, and Amy Mackelden who helped show me the ropes when I joined the party. Thank you to my fellow anthology co-editors, Nuala O’Connor, Meg Pokrass, Alison Powell, Joanna Campbell, and Nod Ghosh. A special thank you to my fellow Co-Directors, Diane Simmons and Ingrid Jendrzejewski, who will continue bringing National Flash Fiction Day and all that comes with it to so many people.
Finally, I offer my deepest gratitude to every writer who has trusted me with their words and every reader who read them.
