Literary Magazines.

Submit your best short-short fiction to these lit mags actively seeking flash fiction.

 

Flash fiction may be brief, but it packs a punch. This month’s Lit Mag Roundup focuses on opportunities for stories of 1,000 words or fewer—perfect for writers who love crafting powerful narratives with precision.

Flash fiction is a fantastic way to sharpen your storytelling skills, experiment with voice, or get published without the commitment of a full-length short story. Below, you’ll find a selection of magazines and journals currently accepting flash fiction submissions. Each offers a unique angle, from literary to experimental, giving you plenty of places to share your work.
