Flash Frontier: An Adventure in Short Fiction

Flash Frontier: An Adventure in Short Fiction is a new online journal and competition website for writers from all over Aotearoa. Flash Frontier hosts a monthly collection of stories around a single theme (January: frontiers / February: heat / March: shades of grey) and quarterly competitions. The themes and competition details are announced regularly on the website and on Facebook and Twitter. Writers and artists interested in the project can find out more details at the website or email inquiries to flashfrontier@gmail.com.  
Flash Frontier's inaugural January 2012 issue includes fifteen original short stories and an interview with Graeme Lay. February's upcoming issue features new stories and an interview with Auckland poet Gus Simonovic. The editorial team includes NZSA Northland’s Michelle Elvy, whose 2010-2011 project 52|250 A Year of Flash became an online success with over 180 international writers and artists, and Kerikeri writer and NZSA Northland member Sian Williams, whose short fiction has gained recent recognition and was shortlisted in the Flash 500's Winter 2011 competition.
