Update 7/22/2025: We are CLOSED but will reopen briefly Aug 1-7.

July submission period:

~ July 1-31: OPEN for stories themed REGRET, no sub cap. UPDATE: Unfortunately, Submittable caps our total number of submissions to 1,000/month. In order to accommodate as many authors as possible, we plan to reopen an extension Aug 1-7

~ July 1st: OPEN for general subs until we reach 300 sub cap. UPDATE: This sub cap was reached within FOUR days!

Over the last year, we have moved to a seasonal reading schedule. After our summer/July sub calls, we will be closed until October 2025.

We have now responded to all stories sent to us for the April 2025 open call as well as Wilderness Horror and FamPunk. If you believe your story fell through the cracks, please double-check your Submittable account. Then, email editor@flashfictiononline.com.

*** As a reminder, we do not reply to submissions sent via email. Those are deleted unread. ***
