Thank you for thinking of SoFloPoJo as an opportunity to showcase your work. We are looking for Flash Fiction submissions generally up to 750 words. (Contact the FLASH Editor for exceptions) One story, one submission per reading period, one file per submission, simultaneous submissions allowed, please withdraw your piece if it is accepted elsewhere.
We like flash fiction that inspires, stimulates, evokes, emotes, shocks, and surprises. We want to be transported by your words to wondrous and strange places, and familiar places that you have made new. Please send us your best work. Seriously, your best.
