The 2006 Finding the Right Words Flash Fiction Contest challenges writers to tell a great story in 500 words or fewer.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 9, 2006 -- The deadline for the 2006 Finding the Right Words Flash Fiction Contest is July 21, 2006.
Since 2004, InkSpotter Publishing has hosted the annual contest for writers of flash fiction -- also known as micro-fiction and postcard fiction. This challenging form requires masterful use of details and only the most necessary words.
Definitions vary, but most writers and editors agree that flash fiction is any story of 2000 words or fewer. The popularity of ultra-short stories has grown in recent years, with some running only 55 and 69 words.
For the purposes of the Finding the Right Words contest, flash fiction entries must run no more than 500 words and touch on a specific theme. Past themes have been "The First Time" and "Second Chances." This year's theme is "Rebel Heart."
