About the magazine

Flash Fiction Online is a monthly digital magazine dedicated to the art of flash fiction, typically stories under 1,000 words. Founded in 2007, it emerged from a desire to showcase the unique power of very short narratives, emphasizing emotional resonance and precise language over elaborate world-building. The magazine publishes speculative, literary, and mainstream flash, with a particular openness to genre-blending work. Its mission is to provide a platform for both emerging and established writers to reach a global readership, fostering an appreciation for the form's concision and impact.

Submitting your work

Writers should submit original flash fiction of 500-1,000 words. The magazine values strong emotional arcs and precise language; genre elements are welcome but should serve the story's heart. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if accepted elsewhere. Use the online submission system and include a brief cover letter. Response times vary, typically within a few weeks. Payment is a flat rate per accepted story.
