We are delighted to announce that FlashFlood will be open for submissions from 12:01 a.m. BST on Sunday, 30 April to 23:59 BST on Saturday, 6 May.
You can read our submission guidelines here, and read about this year's editors here.
We're looking for submissions of up to 300 words on any theme. (Shorter pieces are very welcome; there is no minimum word count.) We are happy to read up to three pieces per author per year.
Previously published work is fine as long as you give us full publication details. We prefer it if you don't send us anything published after 2021 as we don't want to steal any thunder from your original publisher. We consider all previously unpublished pieces for award nominations; we nominate for Best Small Fictions, Best Microfiction and Best of the Net.
Please note that we do not accept AI generated work at this time. Whilst we appreciate that AI can come up with some very interesting things, we have a very human team of editors volunteering their precious and limited time. We simply don't have the resources to deal with a deluge of AI generated work. Please be kind to our editors by only submitting work that you yourself have written.
