Flash 500 Long List #amwriting



Another Spam Email Warning
Once again I have been contacted by a few people regarding emails supposedly coming from the poetry side of Flash 500. I closed the account last year, so nothing should be going out from that address. Any emails you receive from poetry@flash500.com have NOT been sent by us and should be deleted unread. Whatever you do, please don't click on the links if you receive an email from poetry@flash500.com.

Flash Fiction Long List
The flash fiction long list for the final quarter 2015 is up on the site. You can read the titles here. The judge for the first quarter 2016 is Barbara Scott-Emmett.
 
Short Story Category
Our new competition, judged by Sue Moorcroft, closes on the last day of February 2016.

Open-themed, we accept all genres, including those written by or for children. Adult material (sex and swearing) is also acceptable, providing the content fits the story and is not gratuitous.

Don't forget, we are looking for stories between 1,000 and 3,000 words, with strong characters, a well-crafted plot and realistic dialogue (where used).

Prizes: £500, £200 and £100.
Entry fees: £7 for one, £12 for two, £16 for three, £20 for four
Optional critiques also available.
