Flash Fiction Submissions
Although it is very different from the days when I would choose the thickest book in the bookstore, I am one hundred percent sold on Flash Fiction. I did not expect much when I started reading, but these writers achieve an incredible amount of emotion, action, and character in so few words that I was hooked.
Run is the first Flash Fiction piece that I wrote (it can be found in Vignettes from the End of the World ), and it was such an honor to have it chosen to be part of such a diverse and interesting collection.
Finding paying markets for these short pieces is difficult, but I have compiled a list of ten different places that accept submissions year round (or several times a year) as of May 2014. Good luck to those of you who choose to submit. I look forward to reading your stories.
