Want a submissions secret? 🤫 We get way fewer short-short and micro submissions than flash, so if you want to increase your chances, why not give one of those a try?

Here’s a short-short from Issue 3 we love by @ezhang77.bsky.social

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hey friends, I'm gathering flash fiction that uses poetic forms for a project. Any you know of and can link here would be hugely appreciated. I am doing my own research! But I know I must be missing some. Thanks so much. 💙
