Necessary Fiction Call for Summer Flash Fiction (Deadline May 1)

Necessary Fiction Call for Summer Flash Fiction (Deadline May 1) Necessary Fiction will publish weekly flash fiction each Wednesday for your summer reading enjoyment beginning in June and lasting through Labor Day. Here are 10 things we’ve noticed about our broad aesthetic tendencies over the years: We’re often fans of the absurd, the off-kilter, and the darkly comic.

Short Story, Long Call for Submissions (Deadline March 31) Short stories, 2k-8k words long (with the 3,000-5,500 range being our real sweet spot). What are we looking for?
