Collage I by Roger Paris

WELCOME to the maiden issue of flashquake. As the title implies, this e-zine will be a home for works of the flash persuasion — flash fiction, flash memoirs, flash essays, flash plays, and short poetry. We invite you to peruse this, our first issue, and by all means, please refer us to your friends.

We're always looking for quality work to add to our archives, as well as graphic art and photographs. Please refer to our submission guidelines if you would like to become a contributor. And please sign up for our newsletter for announcements whenever new work is posted to flashquake and other news of interest to fans of flash literature.
