Welcome to 100 Word Fiction — a home for the smallest stories that still manage to stay with you.
Our editor reads every submission personally. Replies are thoughtful, and publication means your work has been chosen with care from among hundreds of entries.
On reading what you send us
Every piece that comes in is opened and read. That takes time — which is why responses are not instant — but it is the only way I know how to run a journal. When a story catches, it stays on the desk for a second and third reading; the ones we publish have all survived at least a week in and out of open tabs.
What we're looking for this season
Stories with specificity. Stories that trust a reader to do some of the work. Stories that use their hundred words rather than filling them.
