While books are getting longer (Donna Tartt's Goldfinch), our
attention spans have become shorter than that of a goldfish. What’s
a reader to do? Try flash-fiction! There’s no consensus on length, but pieces
range from 6 to 2000 words. Here are a few websites to get you started reading: 3am Magazine,
Flashfiction Magazine,
Everyday Fiction, Shortbread Stories,
Huffington Post, NANO Fiction. Some will send stories to your inbox daily and several accept reader submissions.
