First of all, a huge thanks to everyone who submitted work to this year’s anthology. We had nearly double the submissions this year as last, and it was a treat to read each and every piece.<\/p>\n
We were incredibly impressed at the overall quality of submissions, so much so that we’ve decided to publish a slightly larger number of pieces this year. However, we did have to make many painful decisions, particularly when it came to common themes. (For example, we received a huge number of pieces about death, and about the death of a parent in particular.) Both editors read each piece anonymously, and we read a good proportion of the submissions many, many times more.\u00a0 There are so many extraordinary stories that just missed out on our final list, and we’ll be rooting for them as they go on to be published elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Thank you to everyone who submitted for sharing your words with us. And to those of you who made our final list, huge, huge congratulations.<\/p>\n
And now, without further ado, here is the list of titles for the 2020 National Flash Fiction Day anthology:<\/p>\n
