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.

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.
