A podcast that discusses all things flash fiction with the people that write it from Ellipsis Zine. In this episode I talk to writer Gaynor Jones about entering and judging flash fiction competitions. Gaynor also reads two competition-winning pieces: ‘It Was the Horse That Killed Her’ by Matt Kendrick, and her own: 'The Thing Between Your Legs'. Rosie Garland reads her winning flash fiction: ‘This Could be a Story about Swimming’.
"Once you hit a long list or a short list for a competition, your story is good."

A podcast that discusses all things flash fiction with the people that write it from Ellipsis Zine. In this episode I read seven connected pieces of flash fiction about one man's struggle with his daily commute, entitled 'The Commuter'. If you have a similar collection of flash fiction or flash fictions on a theme, and would like to read them for a future episode, please get in touch.
I’m not entirely sure if they were fighting to get on or to get off the train.
