Fractured Lit is dedicated to finding flash fiction that lingers long past the first reading: stories that stay with the reader for days, months, or even years. We want to find flash with emotional resonance, characters we care about, who come to life through their actions and responses to the world around them. We’re searching for Flash that investigates the mysteries of being human, the sorrow and the joy of connecting to the diverse population around us. All stories read horizontally, but we want those that explode vertically, which leaves the conventional and the cliched far behind. Fractured Lit is a flash fiction centered place for all writers of any background and experience. Let us help you tell your stories, the stories we knew we’ve needed all along.
