So many of our writers and editors love flash fiction, so this is always one of our favorite contests each year. It’s so fun to see these genres played out in stories of so few words! Compression is a great way to increase not only the resonance, but also the creativity in what to leave out! Congrats to these 9 stories/writers on our longlist. We’ll be back shortly with our shortlist.
