Flash Flood is OPEN for submissions

 until Thursday 9 May 2019 
 at 23:59 BST (22:59 UTC)


The aim is simple: wherever you are in the world, we want your best flash fictions. The word limit is 500 words, but that's the only rule. Any subject, any genre, any style, any perspective, anything as long as it's flash.

Our guidelines have changed this year, so please have a read over our submission guidelines before you send your work.  If you'd like, you can also read about this year's editors.

We look forward to reading your words!
