Redivider — Flash Fiction

Overview
Redivider, the literary journal affiliated with Emerson College, seeks flash fiction for a distinct section within its pages. This call is for works of 1,200 words or less, with up to three pieces permitted per submission. The journal's fiction team will evaluate entries, and selected pieces will be published alongside other flash fiction, separate from longer short stories. There is no submission fee. The journal maintains a clear institutional boundary: current Emerson College students, faculty, and staff are ineligible, and alumni must wait three years post-graduation before submitting. This policy ensures a broader, external pool of contributors and reflects Redivider's commitment to showcasing voices beyond its immediate academic community. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Redivider provides a reputable platform for flash fiction practitioners. The dedicated section signals a curatorial focus on the compressed form, valuing precision, resonance, and narrative economy. Writers working in this mode will find a receptive audience attuned to the nuances of short-form fiction.
