Here is my big face and some words about Bridges and #FlashFiction for @natflashfictionday.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading your stories for #NFFD26 anthology. Open for subs now - but not closing until 15 Feb, so do give your story the time it needs.

I’ll be picking names out of the hat tomorrow!

In the first of this season’s interviews, NFFD’s Diane Simmons talks to anthology editor Sharon Telfer @sharontelfer.bsky.social about writing from the heart, taking risks & much more: www.nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/ne...

After a few false starts, it looks like our website is up & running again!

Still having problems. Sorry if it’s stopping anyone submitting.

Aplologies if you are trying to access our website. We are having a few technical problems but the tech folk are on the case!

Submissions to our anthology on the theme of BRIDGES are open until 15 Feb. Two accepted authors will each receive a prize from our editors of £50! Editors are @karjon.bsky.social & @sharontelfer.bsky.social www.nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/an...

Don’t muss out on the chance to win!

I'm not entering the draw because I already have a copy of this. It was the cover artwork that caught my eye, but what you can't see here is that the writing inside is also excellent. #Booksky #IndiePresses

This is a wonderful book, inside and out.

Our new artist-in-residence @joannacampbell.bsky.social won NFFD’s novella-in-flash comp in 2022 with her NIF ‘Sybilla’. She also designed its stunning cover. If you would like to WIN a FREE copy & live in the UK, please comment in the link below & we’ll draw 2 names out of a hat on 18 Dec.

Thank you so much to @scooterwriter.bsky.social and @lunchontuesday.bsky.social for this incredible honour. I hope to uphold the amazing legacy left by brilliant artist @jeanettesheppard.bsky.social whose work has graced the covers of seven anthology covers for @natflashficdaynz.bsky.social

Congratulations, @joannacampbell.bsky.social

Many thanks to School Reading List for placing our book on the fiction shortlist with lots of awesome titles. @reenamakwana.bsky.social Great time to buy with @theemmapress.bsky.social sale too. #kidlit #childrensficrion

We are very excited to announce that Joanna Campbell @joannacampbell.bsky.social is our new artist-in-residence! She has been a huge supporter of NFFD for many years & we’re thrilled to have her as part of the team! You can read more here: www.nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/ne...

I had two pieces of flash fiction out in 2025. I was very lucky to have the first appear in the FlashFlood for @natflashfictionday.bsky.social

I’ve decided to hang up my hat at NFFD as I move in a new creative direction, visually. Its been a privilege and such a wonderful experience. Thank you to Diane, Ingrid and Tino for asking me to be a part of the the team and to everyone who said lovely things about my work over the years. X

Bridges. Intriguingly interpretive! 🤔

If you would like to own one of our anthologies with Jeanette’s beautiful artwork, they are all (except for Tiny Sparks & Monsoon) available for £5 plus p&p from our website bookshop.

After 7 fabulous years, we’re bidding farewell to our Artist-in-Residence, Jeanette Sheppard @jeanettesheppard.bsky.social who is stepping down from the role. Thank you, Jeanette for all your wonderful artwork.We’ll be announcing our new artist soon www.nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/ne...

If you’re submitting a micro, it’s a good idea to check the word count manually. Different systems can count things in different ways!

Can I cross that bridge and bridge the gap between rejection and acceptance? #WritingCommunity

Subs for the 2026 National Flash Fiction Day anthology & micro comp are now open, closing 15 Feb. Please repost for #FlashFiction friends.
