Welcome to The Shortys!
The home for creators of short fiction and poems.

Each year, we welcome writers to our annual competition celebrating the art of short stories, flash fiction, and poetry.

From unforgettable characters to thought-provoking verses, The Shortys is a place to create, inspire, and share your words with the our lovely community.

Submissions for The Shortys open on 1 September each year.
