Dear all,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Just a quick catch up, while there are a few spare minutes here at NFFD Towers, to bring you up to date.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First, it’s National Flash-Fiction Day on Saturday (in case you had forgotten). Various events are taking place, and details of them can be found at http:\/\/<\/wbr>nationalflashfictionday.co.uk\/<\/wbr>events.html<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the day, we are encouraging people at the events to tweet about them, using the hashtag #nffdlive. I know Bristol and Oxford are already taking part, but if you are at any event for the day, please feel free to use it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In addition, we will be streaming a veritable flood of flashes through our online journal at http:\/\/flashfloodjournal.<\/wbr>blogspot.co.uk\/<\/a> and through ourFacebook<\/a> and Twitter <\/a>feeds. Stories will start appearing at midnight and run all day, but don’t worry, they’ll stay up afterwards so you can read them at your leisure. If you would like to submit to FlashFlood, submissions are open until midnight on Thursday (BST) and all the details can be found on the blog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are also planning a worldwide writing event for the day, so stay tuned for more on that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our anthology, Eating My Words, is now available in Kindle <\/a>and paperback <\/a>formats should you want to treat yourself, and it would be really good if you could spread the word about those too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other books, including our previous two anthologies, will be available for FREE download on the Day, and an email will come out about that with links to all the various books. If you have a flash-fiction collection on Kindle, and would like to promote it for free on the Day, let us know the link and we’ll add you to the list.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anything else you want to tell us, you know where we are.<\/div>\n
I’ll be in touch again, on the day (if not before) but if I don’t see you, have a wonderful Flash-Fiction Day!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All best<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Calum
