//small.POWERFUL//     The Masters Review

Flash fiction continues to be a “hot” genre and some of you may have wholeheartedly embraced it. If so, here’s a reminder about a promising contest! The deadline: September 30, 2018. Have some short gems of literary wit and magic that you’ve polished until they sparkle? If so, why not step them out?

The Masters Review, which is devoted to emerging writers, now sponsors flash-fiction contests twice a year. The winning entry this time around will receive $3000 and publication on The Masters Review site.  Second and third place prizes will also be awarded.

Here’s the original call for entries: “Our love of flash fiction runs deep. And throughout our six years of reading work by emerging writers we’ve seen some incredible pieces of small and powerful fiction, but we’ve never hosted a call for flash. So here it is: a home for your very best small fiction. Send us big worlds in tiny packages, large ideas with a low word count. Dazzle us with your best fiction under 1000 words.

“Emerging writers only (We are interested in offering a larger platform to new writers.) Self-published writers and writers of story collections and novels with a small circulation are welcome to submit.”

Guidelines:

Stories under 1000 words
Previously unpublished stories only
Simultaneous and multiple submissions allowed

Entry fee of $20 for submission of up to two stories
No identifying information on your story
