It's nearly that time of year again...time to submit to the National Flash Fiction Day Anthology and our annual Microfiction Competition!
We are delighted to welcome Damhnait Monaghan to the National Flash Fiction Day team as this year's guest editor for the 2023 National Flash Fiction Day anthology. She'll be joining NFFD's Anthology Editor Karen Jones in putting together this year's anthology of flash fiction from around the world. You can read more about this year's editors here.
The theme for this year’s anthology is TIME. Do you see it stretching before you, or reaching back? Is there never enough, or does it drag? Does it make you rush, slow you down, make you wish for more? Where will time take you? We can’t wait to find out.
Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish, in 500 words or fewer. Selected flashes will be published in National Flash Fiction Day's 12th Annual Anthology. Payment is one contributor's copy of the anthology.
Entries will also be open for the Microfiction Competition, but there is no theme. Competition winners and runners up will be published in the anthology as well as the time-themed flash.
Both projects will be open for submissions from the 1st of December 2022 to the 15th of February 2023.
