The Senior editors will then meet to whittle down the list to a longlist of 100, and a shortlist of the best 50 Flash Fiction written by British and Irish authors.

ObjectivesThe U.K. and Ireland are fast becoming home to Flash Fiction, with publications, competitions, and writers emerging all across these two small, neighbouring islands.

TSS Publishing wishes to celebrate this wealth of talent and reinforce the extraordinary opportunity this wonderful form has to offer.
