The 2024 NFFD Road Map

The UK's National Flash Fiction Day starts at 00:01 BST on Saturday, 15 June 2023. Here's your handy guide to what's happening when....

Celebrate with us!

We'll be celebrating this year's National Flash Fiction Day in Birmingham with in-person workshops and the launch of our 2024 anthology.  Details will be posted in 2024.

Read with us!

For 24 hours straight starting at 00:01 BST on Saturday, 15 June, FlashFlood, NFFD's curated online journal, will be publishing one flash every 5 to 10 minutes over at NFFD Check in at half past the hour every hour from start to finish for our Debut Flash Series — new stories written by previously unpublished flash writers.

Write with us!

Over at NFFD’s The Write-In, we’ll be posting a flash prompt every hour on the hour from 00:00 – 24:00 BST on National Flash Fiction Day, 15 June 2024. You'll then have 24 hours to submit your responses for a chance of publication. Publication of responses begins on 16 June 2023 and doesn't finish until the team is done reading through all the wondrous things you send us!

If you'd like to write with others, the folks at Propelling Pencil are independently running a free one-hour workshop based around the prompts at The Write-In.  Details coming soon.

Connect with us!

As usual, we'll be posting all our prompts and FlashFlood stories on Twitter @nationalflashfd and will be around on Facebook at facebook.com/nationalflashfictionday
