In honor of the shortest month of the year which includes the loving-est day of the year, we’re launching the We Love Short Shorts Contest for Flash Creative Nonfiction!
Throughout the month of February, we’re inviting flash nonfiction writers to submit short essays (micro memoir) of up to 250 words; there is no theme. Our winner and two runners-up will be featured in a special We Love Short Shorts section of our March/April 2024 issue, which goes live the first week of March.
Here’s a full look at the details:
