SmokeLong Quarterly now provides editorial feedback to our submitters if they choose to receive it.
If you are a writer and you would like feedback from the SmokeLong Quarterly senior editors, you have the following options:
Senior Editor Feedback — If you choose this option, you will receive line-editing and detailed editing suggestions and comments on one flash narrative* from an experienced flash-narrative editor. Click on the link to purchase this in the shop.
SmokeLong General Submissions with Feedback — If you choose this option, you will receive comments on one flash narrative* from 3 senior editors. These comments will be a general response to the narrative describing what works and what doesn’t with some suggestions for revision. This option is ideal for submitters who’ve received a personal rejection indicating that the narrative sparked a discussion among the editors.
The SmokeLong Quarterly Flash Workshop Online — This quarterly workshop is a 7-week asynchronous course taught by three experienced creative writing instructors, each leading a two-week module on a specific topic related to crafting compelling flash narratives.
