Say, #writers. We're not seeing a lot of subs in our mission's wheelhouse lately, so take a look at the four pieces selected for last year's Best Microfictions for a primer on what we're looking for. And browse our 2025 nominees as well.

"It seems obvious to me that our daughter, Tessa, cannot sleep with the dead squirrel, which she has named Dickie." - What a beginning, and what an end. Love this piece by @emilyrinkema

Now THIS would actually work. Consumerism is powerful! But we’d have to get the word out and stick together- are you in??? Retweet- spread the word.
