We have the same name, the same love of flash, and the same difficulties this year running our annual events due to Covid-19.\u00a0 We’re a completely separate organisation from National Flash Fiction Day New Zealand, but this year we’re joining forces to celebrate flash fiction throughout the month.<\/p>\n
Although most of NFFD UK’s online celebration is condensed into this weekend, we’ll be joining NFFD NZ for their events, which welcome flash fiction readers and writers from around the world. They are primarily celebrating on 22 June, but there are a number of things to look out for throughout the month.<\/p>\n
Here’s what’s happening, though do check their events page<\/a> for updates:<\/p>\n We are also excited to see so many international writers in the volume this year, including the following from New Zealand: Johanna Aitchison, Anita Arlov, Melanie Dixon, Jan FitzGerald, Alison Glenny, Kamala Jackson, Heather McQuillan, Nod Ghosh, Cherllisha Silva, Kirsten Strom and Iona Winter.
