Hello, aspiring and veteran writers. And below that is the department that handles blogging. Not big-time blogging. I don’t know about big-time blogging.

Help And Hope For New Writers

The Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette publishes new writers.
Hello, bloggers and writers. Welcome to the most dynamic flash fiction blog on the Internet. This magazine wants to publish aspiring and veteran writers; but acceptance is not easy.
Most writers fail to make the cut because they throw something together and hit the send button. Or the writer sends a sketch instead of a short story. Or the story is poorly written or the characters in the story are all one dimensional.
But every story is read and the writer is given a reason why the story was not accepted. When a story is accepted, it is usually published within a few days.
Writing a good story is never easy; but read and follow the submission guidelines and send in your best. I’ll be rooting for you.
