It's that time of year again. If you like a bit of flash fiction (and who doesn't?) then check out June 22nd, National Flash Fiction Day. There are events happening across the UK to celebrate flash fiction and you can find out what's happening near you
here. Calum Kerr is also running another Flash Flood Journal on Saturday, where a flash story is released every 10 mins for 24 hrs. If you want to be part of the flood then here are the
submission guidelines (you can submit 3 pieces). But you need to be quick as the deadline is 20 June. The Indoor Writer has sent in 3 flash stories - so trotters crossed. Follow the release of stories on Twitter @nationalflashfd all day too. Posts on writing flash fiction will also be coming out throughout the week
here.
If you're a fan of flash fiction then you probably have a good sense of humour. Alfie Dog have now released 'Essence of Humour', a collection of funny stories, in paperback.
Click here for details. Okay, so this is a tenuous link, but the Indoor Writer has a story in the collection and... well you know the rest...
Good luck to the indoor writer! I've never written flash fiction - it's definitely something I should try my hand at!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda - one of my pieces has been selected and will be published at 6pm on 22 June. Have a go - it can be liberating and lots of fun (writing flash!)
DeleteNational Flash Fiction day - perfect for you, Tracy, as I know how much you love writing it. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteAhh Wendy I do love flashing! I they picked a story to come out at 6pm on Sat.
DeleteNo link is too tenuous if it results in the promotion of that marvelous collection of humorous stories!
ReplyDeleteIt all helps. And the collection does contain some very talented writers. Patsy Collins has a story in there - she's pretty good isn't she?
