Tahoma Literary Review positions its flash category at the intersection of poetic compression and narrative force. The editors seek work that leverages the lyricism of poetry while delivering the impact of short prose—pieces that surprise, challenge, and move the reader within a constrained space. This is not a venue for anecdote or sketch; it is a call for writing where every sentence carries weight and where the architecture of the fragment is as considered as the whole. The magazine accepts one or two pieces of flash prose in a single file, with a total word limit of 1,100. Prose poems should be directed to the Poetry category, a distinction that signals the editors' attentiveness to genre boundaries and their expectation that submissions respect those boundaries. For writers seeking deeper engagement, the Critique category offers an in-depth reading and written analysis of a flash piece—a rare opportunity for editorial feedback within the submission process. A reading fee of $4.00 applies. Tahoma Literary Review does not disclose prize or payment details in this call, and no location or institutional affiliation is specified. What is clear is the editorial standard: work that is lyrical, surprising, and emotionally resonant, executed with the precision that flash demands.
