I want to give my fellow authors a heads up that Every Day Fiction and Ghost Parachute are currently open for flash fiction submissions.
You’ll find the guidelines below. However, this is just an overview. It is always wise to get your information directly from the publication’s website and read what they have have already published.
***While these publications seem legit, I cannot guarantee their validity or philosophies.***
Every Day Fiction

There’s no such thing as too short — if you can do the job in 50 words, have at it! — but our readers prefer pieces that tell or at least hint at a complete story (some sort of action or tension rising to a moment of climax, and at least a clue toward a resolution, though it doesn’t have to be all spelled out). – https://everydayfiction.com/submit-story/

RESPONSE TIME: 90 Days
WORD COUNT: Flash fiction – Maximum 1,000 words (up to 3 stories submitted at a time)

Ghost Parachute
DESCRIPTION: Ghost Parachute seeks to publish writing that is unapologetically bold. We wish to lose ourselves in fresh and vibrant imagery. We want to read what we’ve always known but were too afraid to say. We want to read a story unlike any other story we’ve read before. It’s easy to view the world in black and white, so Ghost Parachute paints a streak of gray. Great stories don’t ride the popular, easy narrative, and great characters are often impossible to love yet we love them anyway. We aim to unleash the spider behind the rose and dance in the surreal. – http://ghostparachute.com/about-ghost-parachute/
