We want very short stories (less than 500 words preferred, less than 1000 required) that end at the first opportunity. Do not send stories that drag on or continue after the first opportunity, no matter how good they are.

Send submissions in the body of an email to FirstStopFiction@gmail.com, with a short, third person bio after the story. Say hi if you want, but no cover letter is necessary. Please don’t attach anything.

Simultaneous submissions are fine, but let us know immediately if your story is accepted anywhere else. If we accept your piece, we assume one-time publication rights, but your work remains your own.
