The upgrading and revamping of our website continues, and we’re still welcoming many new visitors and subscribers to our site. We’re very happy to have you all as part of the Cranked Anvil Community – and you’ve joined us at the right time, as we’re planning on rolling out some fantastic new opportunities and services over the coming few months.

And if you write microfiction – or even if you don’t but you’d like to give it a try – why not submit to us here. It’s free to do so, and all successful work is published on our website.

Flash Competition August 2024 Long List

And now, on to our latest competition long list.

Before we announce the latest long list, a word of caution to everyone entering – we’re still receiving some entries that don’t adhere to the competition rules, and therefore must be disqualified and go unread. And NO writer wants that!

So, please, if you are entering our flash fiction competition, make sure you read all the rules of entry carefully before submitting.

As usual, we had some fantastic entries this quarter – not only from some very regular entrants, but also from many writers brand new to Cranked Anvil. (Again, welcome to you all, and we hope to read and publish more of your work in the future.)

So here it is – our Aug24 Flash Fiction Long List:

Cole Beauchamp
Laura Besley
Gayle Beveridge
Dianne Bown-Wilson
Letty Butler
Rob Carr

Stuart Cavet
Sal Devon
Sarah Donaldson
Mary Francis
Della Galton
