About

Founded in 2006 and closed in December 2016, NANO Fiction (Print ISSN 1935-844X; Digital ISSN 2160-939X) was a non-profit literary journal that sought to cultivate the genre of flash fiction by creating opportunities for emerging writers to achieve national recognition through our website, print publication, and educational events.

As part of our educational mission, NANO Fiction has made its published archive available online starting January 2nd, 2017.

Stories previously published in our print issues will post one-per-day five days a week beginning with Volume 1 Number 1 and ending with our final issue, Volume 10 Number 1. Ebooks will still be available for purchase in both ePub and PDF format on our website and Google Play and in Kindle format on Amazon.com.

Stories will be organized by issue as well as tagged with literary attributes for easy searching and implementation in classroom settings.

We hope you’ll enjoy reading and rereading these works as much as we have.
