#345 Gone in a Flash

If you’re an avid follower of Prompts, you likely already know that the Reedsy Literary Prize — our new, longer-form contest for stories between 2,000 and 5,000 words — is officially live. But if you’re more keen on shorter forms of storytelling, keep reading!

For our contest this week, we’re drawing inspiration from the art of flash fiction. Our official contest guidelines are still 1,000 to 3,000 words per story, but we’d like to challenge you to write as concisely as you can, whenever possible! See how much impact you can make by using fewer words, and making every single sentence count.
