Wagon Bound For Market

The market for short-short stories, known as "flash fiction", is rapidly expanding. Existing short story markets have opened their submission guidelines to include fiction less than 1,000 words, and new magazines, both online and offline, are appearing that focus specifically on publishing flash fiction.

Here are a few markets that pay for micro-fiction stories.

Paying Market: Flash Fiction Online

This website has grown rapidly in a short period of time, and regularly offers high-quality flash fiction. A subscription is free, and in addition to subscribing to the RSS feed, readers can listen to the story via podcast on iTunes.

Flash Fiction Online is a great website for short story writers to attract a readership. The editor claims to have an affinity for fantasy and science-fiction, but all genres are welcome. Stories must be between 500 and 1,000 words and can be submitted by email. Each story receives payment of $50.
