Flash Fiction for our purposes will be any writing that is fiction and is under 1000 words. Again, as with everything else in The Yard, you can write in any genre, so long as it’s crime related. A regular crime story, or a story about cops, or thieves, in a fantasy world, or space bounty hunters, or a romance between serial killers….just make it good, and 1500 words or less. Follow the Submission Guidelines.
