We love flash fiction & nonfiction that delights in its own glorious brevity and resonates beyond the page. Our favorite? When more is said in what is not said.
We're getting great fantastic shorts, so keep 'em coming, writers!

Abby Shaffer founded Petrichor Art & Literary as a nonprofit to ensure that the mission of sharing story, giving voice, and art feeding art are foundational underpinnings to everything we do. She is driven by the idea that story ignites new art-making, transformation, a journey, a revolution.
