Short Fiction SHOWCASE
Short fiction stories are often called “flash fiction” or “dime stories” – 500-word pieces with a beginning, middle, and end. Many of our member authors participate in dime story events that require their short stories to be read aloud in three minutes or less, a writing challenge! For fun, see if you can read aloud in three minutes or less the short fiction stories written by our member authors.
