National Flash Fiction Day is OPEN for submissions for our annual Anthology and Microfiction Competition!
How is it December already? Even though summer might feel far away, we're already busy preparing for the UK's thirteenth annual National Flash Fiction Day which we'll be celebrating on 14 June 2025. We've opened submissions to both our Anthology and Microfiction Competition projects and will be reading submissions from now until 15 February 2025. We are open to work from anyone and everyone, all around the world.
For the 2025 Anthology, we're looking for flash up to 500 words on the theme of SEASONS. Your work will be read by editors Karen Jones and Cheryl Markosky. Selected work will be published in our 2025 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 Sudha Balagopal, Rebecca Field, James Montgomery and Sherry Morris. 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 and you can read more about our judges here.
Our Anthology and Microfiction Competition teams look forward to reading your work!
