The authors of shortlisted flash fiction samples have now been notified, and have a month to send in the full manuscript.
This year, decisions have been harder than ever shortlisting both poetry and flash submissions. There are many writers who didn't make the shortlists this time that we'd be happy to read submissions from in the future.
