Hot Flash Literary is an online journal of flash whose mission is to give women-identifying writers a voice. A place for women’s voices to ignite. Like an ember. Flash up to 500 words.

Hot Flash Literary is edited by Tina Carlson and Jessica Klimesh. Issues are loosely themed, with a goal of highlighting the experience of being a woman, whatever that means to each individual writer. 

The themes are meant to inspire but not constrain. 

Hot Flash accepts flash (both fiction and creative nonfiction) and flash-y prose poetry (no lined poems). 

Pieces should not exceed 500 words; up to three pieces may be submitted at a time.
