Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction

January 2024 Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction

The Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction challenges writers to create an original piece of fiction based on two typical writing prompts plus one anti-prompt. What’s an anti-prompt? It’s a call to break a specific rule of writing.

Prize: Total prize pool of AU$2,000 with 8 prizes including AU$1,000 for first place and publication on the Not Quite Write podcast.

We are keen to encourage quality submissions, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
