Congratulations to the SmokeLong nominees for The Best Small Fictions 2020! We are so proud of all the stories we publish. We wish we could nominate them all. The decision is always beyond hard.

We’re crossing our fingers for you all. All of these stories do something amazing with the word count.
The SmokeLong Team
In September 2022 SmokeLong launched a workshop environment/community christened SmokeLong Fitness. This community workshop is happening right now on our dedicated workshop site. If you choose to join us, you will work in a small group of around 15-20 participants to give and receive feedback on flash narratives—one new writing task each week.
