Vestal Review

Flash fiction must be no longer than 500 words, move from point A to point B, and may be in most genres; humor is especially welcome. The magazine rejects pornography, racism, excessive gore, preachy stories, and X-rated content. Submit a Microsoft Word file with a word-count heading; include a brief bio of no more than 200 words. Contributors should wait two issues before resubmitting. The submission costs $3.00 and closes November 16, 2026, at 5:00 AM.

The magazine accepts listings for published flash-fiction books from 2020 onward; forthcoming books are not accepted. This is a separate book-list submission rather than a fiction publication call.
