National Flash Fiction Day is OPEN for submissions to our annual Anthology and Microfiction Competition!
It may be cold and dark outside, but we're getting ready for the UK's twelfth annual National Flash Fiction Day which we'll be celebrating on 15 June 2024. We've opened submissions to both our Anthology and Microfiction Competition projects and will be reading submissions from now until 15 February 2024. We are open to work from anyone and everyone, all around the world.
For the 2024 Anthology, we're looking for flash up to 500 words on the theme of AIR, EARTH, WATER AND FIRE. Your work will be read by editors Karen Jones and Sara Hills. Selected work will be published in our 2024 print/ebook anthology and be considered for our Editors' Choice Awards which come with a £50 prize. You can read our submission details here.
For our Microfiction Competition, we're looking for flash of up to 100 words. There is no theme. Your work will be read by judges Sara Chansarkar, Jan Kaneen, David Rhymes and Alison Wassell. Winners and runners-up will receive cash prizes and be published online and in our print/ebook anthology. Full submission details can be found here.
Our Anthology and Microfiction Competition teams look forward to reading your work!
