A podcast that discusses all things flash fiction with the people that write it from Ellipsis Zine. In this episode I talk to writer Gaynor Jones about entering and judging flash fiction competitions. Gaynor also reads two competition-winning pieces: ‘It Was the Horse That Killed Her’ by Matt Kendrick, and her own: 'The Thing Between Your Legs'. Rosie Garland reads her winning flash fiction: ‘This Could be a Story about Swimming’.

"Once you hit a long list or a short list for a competition, your story is good."

The Commuter

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 08:57:53 GMT

A podcast that discusses all things flash fiction with the people that write it from Ellipsis Zine. In this episode I read seven connected pieces of flash fiction about one man's struggle with his daily commute, entitled 'The Commuter'. If you have a similar collection of flash fiction or flash fictions on a theme, and would like to read them for a future episode, please get in touch.

I’m not entirely sure if they were fighting to get on or to get off the train.

Trailer

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 19:29:05 GMT

A podcast that discusses all things flash fiction with the people that write it from Ellipsis Zine. This is an introduction episode to this podcast, a trailer of what’s to come. Over the next few weeks I’ll be talking to writers of flash fiction about a range of topics such as how and where they get their inspiration, dealing with rejection, carving out time to write, and any advice they’ve received to help sharpen their words. I’ll intersperse these interviews with reading of flash fiction from the authors.
