Guest editor for Summer issue announced
Our guest editor for the Summer reading period will be Barbara Jacksha. Barbara is a freelance writer, dividing her time between
instructional, technical, and fiction writing. Her work has appeared or is
forthcoming in a variety of publications, including Peregrine, Mindprints,
Beloit Fiction Journal, Dark Moon Lilith, Poetry Midwest, Carve Magazine, and flashquake. Her work has also received several honors, including a nomination for the Pushcart Prize. Barbara lives in the wilds outside Santa
Fe, New Mexico, with her husband, two dogs, and several neighborhood
coyotes. We know she'll be a great addition to our editorial team! ... and a flashquake thank you
We would like to thank guest editor Jim Driesen for his help and enthusiasm during the Spring issue reading period. New feature in flashquake
We've begun a new and irregular feature in this issue, a book review of a collection of flash fiction from former contributor Michael Arnzen. If you know of a book or chapbook comprised entirely of flash literature and would like to write a review, please contact reviews@flashquake.org with your proposal. Are you a former contributor who has published?
If you're a former (or current) flashquake contributor who has published a book-length work, please let us know. We'd love to feature a link to your book on our Recommended page. flashquake's Online Class Status
Due to illness, our online classes in flash fiction and haibun are on an indefinite haitus. If you are interested our future offerings, sign up for our newsletter, where we'll announce them as soon as they're rescheduled. Coming Soon: flashquake's Online Submission System
Although work has not been progressing as quickly as we would have liked, our online submission system is three-quarters completed and should be ready for our Fall reading period. The advantage of this new system for writers is being able to see what's happening with your submission throughout the review process. The advantage for us is that it reduces the amount of time we spend processing submissions, and increases the amount of time we have to devote to reviewing them and working on other projects, like seeking additional funding to pay more writers better stipends, and developing audio or print anthologies of the best work we've published.
