Best Flash Fiction Contests in 2024
Flash Fiction is defined as a very short story that can be anywhere from just a couple of words to about a thousand in length. The beauty (and difficulty) of writing flash fiction lies in trying to tell a complete story in so few words. Great flash fiction is succinct, emotive, thought-provoking, and impactful. These flash fiction contests are a great way to get your work in front of editors and agents. Winning can also lead to publication, awards, and other recognition. But competitions aren't just about winning; they're also a great way to get feedback on your work and improve your writing because short stories allow you to practice all the skills of writing a story in a much more condensed format.
