All royalties from book sales go toward paying operating costs of Brilliant Flash Fiction, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. Please consider buying a copy.

This anthology celebrates the tenth anniversary of Brilliant Flash Fiction, a nonprofit organization dedicated to publishing quality flash fiction. All book royalties will go toward Brilliant Flash Fiction‘s continued operating costs.

Inside this book, you’ll find 42 flash fiction tales of tenacity, created by an international cast of writers. Each story is crafted in 300 words or less and follows the author’s imaginative journey into a world of persistent determination.

What is flash fiction? A story told in 1,000 words or less. The best short fiction leaves the reader with a “flash” of inspiration, revelation, and/or emotional response.

After a call for submissions that elicited 472 entries, Brilliant Flash Fiction editors chose 42 that they felt best express the sort of tenacity that enabled their organization to survive from 2014 to 2024.

10th Anniversary Anthology

Brilliant Flash Fiction celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2024 with an eBook and print anthology entitled TENacity. We are seeking flash fiction stories of 300 words or less on the subject of Tenacity. Writers do not have to use the word “tenacity” in their stories or titles; simply send us your best work expressing the concept of te·nac·i·ty:

  1. the quality or fact of continuing to exist; persistence.”the tenacity of certain myths within the historical record”

Similar: persistence, determination, doggedness, single-mindedness, perseverance, stick-to-it-iveness, resolution, If someone calls you tenacious you’re probably the kind of person who never gives up and never stops trying – someone who does whatever is required to accomplish a goal.

KICKSTART OUR 2021 ANTHOLOGY

~ Brilliant Flash Fiction

Brilliant Flash Fiction needs a KICKSTART to fund our second print anthology.

When the world stopped in early 2020, writing and the arts kept going. We kept accepting submissions, we kept encouraging writers, and we hosted contests to continue bringing in new writers, new voices and new thoughts. We want writing to thrive, and we want to showcase flash fiction at its best.

To do that, we need your help.

Visit Kickstarter to pledge even a small amount of money—and earn rewards including stickers, pens, editors’ flash fiction tips, T-shirts, and reviews of your own work.

We have until December 11, 2020, 10 AM MST, to reach our goal of $1,000. All money will go towards funding the printing process for an anthology in 2021 featuring original work solicited from writers around the world.
