Contest

Every year, QSF holds a flash fiction contest to create an amazing new anthology of queer speculative fiction stories. We ask authors to do the nearly-impossible – to submit a sci fi, fantasy, paranormal or horror LGBTQ+ story that has no more than 300 words.

Our 2023 contest closed on May 1st. The theme for 2023 is “Rise. For full details and contest rules, see our 2023 page here.
