2009 Award Nominations
I just packaged up our award nominations for 2009 and emailed the nominees. Six stories were chosen for the Pushcart Prize and two were nominated for the 3rd Annual Micro Award.
The list of nominees will be announced on our website on October 31, 2009.
We're always looking for new ways to celebrate the best of flash fiction, so if you know of any other prizes, awards, or collections that accept nominations from editors, please let us know!

Slush Pile Update
So far we have received 104 submissions:
1 accepted, 11 held for voting, 1 withdrawn, and 71 rejected. In addition to that, we have sent 6 back for requested rewrites, three of which have come back already and been held for voting. That's impressive!
We still have 10 submissions before the editorial board, and 4 more still in our inbox.
In the past few months, we've added five new editors to the staff, so we're churning out replies quicker than ever before. We have reviewed all submissions received before October 9th, so if you submitted prior to that and haven't heard from us, please query.
You may also notice more editorial feedback with rejection letters. We have so any editors reviewing slush that we occasionally have five or six editors commenting before we make a final decision. We are also making an effort to give detailed feedback for stories that have flaws we can point out easily. We hope this extra feedback makes a rejection letter a little less like a rejection and more like a review from an experienced editorial board.
We look forward to seeing your stories in the slush pile...
