Market for VERY short fic

Hey Gina,

I don't really know much about short-short fiction markets as my shortest short numbers about 4000 words. But I did come across a web site on the net that lists some flash fiction markets that might help. Here it is: http://www.terryburns.net/short_markets.htm

Hope that helps!

storypilot.com is one list you can search by story length.

There are some British mags that will take stories of 1000 words, bit longer that your piece - they are Woman's Weekly, Bella, Best and Take a Break. Don't have contact details handy at the mo, if you dig about on the net you should be able to find them.

Try New Cauldron magazine. Search on the web for the site.
Word Riot.
Blue Almonds.
Forward Fiction.
Unlikely Stories.
Flash Me Magazine

Markets

Gina, have you looked in the markets list sticky at the top of the 'page'? There are flash fiction lists there.

Have you looked in the thread about four below yours asking about markets?
There are flash fiction markets there.

There was a long and detailed thread about British magazines with all the details you will need on this board a while ago. Use the search function and you'll find it.

Flash fiction is usually under 500 words. Can you add a little plot and make your story a 1000 word one for the British magazines (add a UK connection to your story) or can you cut and pare to 500 words?

Flash Fiction:

Look at Word Riot and all the other links that go with it.

Chickflicks springs to mind but they only pay token ($10) to selected editors choices.

However, duotrope is your friend, you can select story length (amongst other things) in the search.

That's the right length for 'That's Life' in Australia. They pay $400 (AD).
