We’ve published the first-ever (we think) Canadian anthology of short short prose that includes all three literary genres: fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. We’re looking for flash fiction, postcard stories, micro-fiction, short-shorts, flash memoirs, prose poems, poetic prose, vignettes—whatever you want to call them—anything 750 words or less.
