Assistant Editor News

Hello, readers! I have taken an internship of sorts with the online flash magazine, Vestal Review. I love flash fiction, and this gives me a chance to interact with both writers and an editing team. It should be fun.

One of our first assignments is to tell the editing world about the chance to submit the best of your magazine to Vestal Review's competition for best of the year.

Here are the guidelines:

Dear fellow editor,

We would like to announce the VERA: Vestal Review Award, our second annual award for flash fiction.

Please feel free to nominate one story under 500 words published by your magazine in print or online in 2015. The winning selection receives a prize of $100 and a publication in Vestal Review, and the runner-up entry gets publication in Vestal Review at our usual terms. There is no nomination fee. Only a publication editor is eligible to submit a nomination. One story per magazine, please.

“Fireworks” by Matthew Fogarty, originally published in Pithead Chapel, was chosen as the recipient of the 2014 award. “Resurrection Man: A Litany” by Sarah Banse, originally published in Harvard Review, was chosen as the runner-up.

This is the nomination link:
