Micro Monday on Tantalizing Tales

Summary

Tantalizing Tales has launched Micro Monday, a weekly feature for micro-fiction stories between 100 and 750 words, aimed at showcasing and promoting concise and impactful storytelling.

Abstract

Tantalizing Tales, a publication that initially focused on longer fiction, has expanded its platform to include Micro Monday, a new initiative dedicated to flash fiction. This development comes after the publication established a strong community of writers and readers over seven months. Micro Monday will spotlight one or more micro-fiction stories every week, with a commitment to promoting these works on Twitter and maintaining a separate feature page on the Tantalizing Tales website. Submissions are open to both new and established contributors to the publication, with specific guidelines to ensure stories are succinct, engaging, and potentially contain a twist. The editorial team encourages authors to adhere to formatting rules, including the use of "Micro Monday" in the story's kicker or subtitle, and to provide a suitable image alongside their submission. To maintain diversity in the stories featured, there is a limit of one publication per author every fortnight.

Micro Fiction: Between 100 & 750 words

The team at Tantalizing Tales always intended to include Flash Fiction in the publication. But first we wanted to grow our following and help buttress the writing community by providing a home for fiction over 750 words.

After only seven months we felt very proud of everything Tantalizing Tales has achieved — we couldn't have done it without the wonderful support of our writers and readers, who appreciate excellent story telling. So we judged the time was right to launch Micro Monday.

Please take time to read our general submission guidelines:

Micro Monday — Flash Fiction

Every Monday, the publication will feature one or more micro-fiction stories and promote on twitter. Plus, a separate feature page on Tantalizing Tales will be dedicated to Micro Monday.

Here are the very brief guidelines for Micro Fiction Submissions.

We are looking for flash fiction between 100 & 750 words. The word count does not include the title or subtitle. Make sure it is sharp and grabs the reader immediately. If you can add a twist, even better.

If you have not written for us before then send the link of your draft story - that hasn’t been published anywhere else on Medium - in an email to [email protected] with Tantalizing Micro Draft as the subject…

You can submit a draft whenever you want, but we generally won’t publish the same author more than once a fortnight, as we only have three slots and like everyone to have a turn.
