LONGER FLASH FICTION SUBMISSIONS GUIDANCE
Please read this before submitting

The main reasons why submissions are rejected are:

they're not the correct length – 151-500 words;
the quality of writing is poor, often from someone unfamiliar with the English language;
the stories aren't actually fiction;
they're submitted as attachments, such as Word;
the stories have appeared elsewhere before;
the entry form has been incorrectly completed.

Each of these problems can be solved, especially the first one. Part of the fun of writing flash fiction is shrinking your story to the required size!
