Editorial Focus

At KYSO Flash we aim to publish memorable works of art and literature. We celebrate very short forms, up to 1,000 words each, and our journal offers a smorgasbord of delicacies:

⚡ Prose poetry
⚡ Flash and micro-fiction
⚡ Hybrid forms such as haibun
⚡ Essays and creative nonfiction
⚡ Photographs, drawings, and fine art
⚡ Poetry, both free verse and structured

Tips From the Editor

As we consider submissions to our journal, awards such as the Pushcart, Best Small Fictions, Best Microfiction, and Best of the Net loom over our decisions. We look for works that Knock Your Socks Off, that is, prize-worthy material. Whatever the genre, we cherish a unique voice, fresh language, and the sly use of literary devices such as metaphor and irony. We hope to be side-swiped, poked in the ribs, and otherwise smitten by an arresting idea, a compelling narrative, an exquisite lyric, or a moving account, all of which thread the perfect line between the personal and the universal.
