FLASH ON THE FLY

A Flash Fiction Horror Writing Contest

How quickly can you go from reading the open call to submitting a story? Can you do it in 2 days?

From the time the horror subgenre and theme are announced, writers have 48-hours to conceive, write, and submit a flash fiction story. One winning story will receive a $50 cash prize and publication on the Death Knell Press website (non-exclusive contract. Author retains all rights to the story). No fee to enter.

The November 2024 Flash on the Fly Contest is now CLOSED
