The Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is calling for short story submissions. Submissions should be between 200 to 700 words long. Type or paste the story in an email. Attachments will not be opened. Put ‘Flash Fiction” in the subject line or the email may be rejected as spam. In the body of the email include the title, name of the author, word count and your email address. At the end of the story add a one to three sentence bio in the third person and the URL to your homepage if you have one and want a link back to it.
Only send one story and wait for a reply before sending another story.
Submission does not mean acceptance. Read a few of the stories in the sidebar on the right under “Great American Flash Fiction Stories To Read” to get an idea of the quality of the writing. Be sure to format the story correctly for The Gazette; which means it should be formatted just like this story: Girls Gone Wild, alignment to the left and double space between paragraphs.
Rigorous proofreading counts. Not following submission guidelines is enough reason for rejection. Authors retain all rights. The only payment is exposure in the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette which publishes some of the best flash fiction on the Internet.
Send submissions to hoganpitt@aol.com
