The North & South Short, Short Story competition is back. Last year’s entries were of such a high standard, we’re hoping for another bundle of flash fiction gems. Again, stories must be 300 words or fewer. There are no boundaries as to themes, structure or narrative styles; we’ll be looking for small but perfectly formed yarns. We want your best efforts, so the competition will be open until March 11 2019, with the winners’ stories published in our May issue, on sale April 15.
Win $400!
Plus: $150 for two runners-up
