It may be cold and dark out, but we’re already dreaming about a flash-tastic summer, and making plans….
First and foremost, mark your calendars: we’re delighted to announce that National Flash Fiction Day 2022 will take place on Saturday, 18 June 2022. We’ll celebrate with a day full of flash fun involving writing prompts, a 24 hours of flash publication at FlashFlood, and the launches of the 2022 NFFD Anthology and our Novella-in-Flash Award winner’s novella, among other things.
If you’d like to get involved (and we hope you do!), here are some dates to look out for:
- 1 Dec 2021 – 15 Feb 2022: Anthology Submissions
We’re looking for flash up to 500 words for the 11th annual NFFD Anthology...with our 2022 editors and theme to be announced very soon. - 1 Dec 2021 – 15 Feb 2022: Microfiction Competition Submissions
We’ll be accepting microfiction competition entries for flash up to 100 words for our annual microfiction competition. There is no theme for the microfiction competition - 2 May 2022 – 8 May 2022 (tentative): FlashFlood Submissions
NFFD’s online journal, FlashFlood, will be reading submissions for the next FlashFlood project which sees flash posted every 5 to 10 minutes throughout the whole of National Flash Fiction Day. - 18 June – 19 June 2022: The Write-In
