Flash Fiction Magazines

Here is our growing list of Flash Fiction Magazines to submit your work to. Flash fiction has become ever more popular in the last few years.

These flash fiction magazines have been collecting on our site for 10 years. We have a large stock of them, so some of these magazines may be brand new and some may be out of date. If you find an out of date magazine, please leave us a comment. We we will take action.

Kudzu Review

Posted on by Every Writer
Here at the Kudzu Review we look for savvy, sharp, well polished literature that captures life in a post-natural world. We publish work, bi-annually, that is outstanding, and motivated by concerns with man?s place in the world. This isn?t your grandmother?s moldy copy of Shelly poems; show us the ?new-nature? with your place, post-colonial, post-gender, and activist writing. Give us new takes on what is ?natural.? Turn your ecocritical eye on any aspect of modern life, see what comes out. Avoid overt, or preachy messages. Enter contests for poetry, fiction, essays, and recipes. Cast new light on rapid species extinction, climate change, food production, technology, sustainability and community. Make us laugh; make us cry. Show us what it means to exist in an ecosystem, a biosphere. Most of all, inspire us
