Flash Fiction Blog is interested in helping fiction writers to create high-quality flash fiction. With that goal in mind, we are open to blog post submissions. If you would like to contribute, contact Gay at flashfictionblog@everydayfiction.com to let her know you are interested.  It is preferable that you send either a query as to what you are going to write about and/or the actual post. 

Once she sees that what you have is within the parameters (non-fiction article about writing, the craft of writing, the experience of writing, publishing, marketing), she will send you letter regarding the process of posting here at EDF’s Flash Fiction Chronicles.

You may submit new or already published blog posts from your own blog. You must own the rights to your post. If posted here at Flash Fiction Chronicles, you retain those rights.

Please contact Gay Degani by email at flashfictionblog@everydayfiction.com.

GUIDELINES:

  • The target length of posts should be between 200 and 1200 words, although longer pieces will be considered.
