Throughout its history, Flash Me Magazine has supported and promoted the art of flash fiction writing with its Lightning Flash Fiction Contests, its Flash For BIG Cash Anthologies, and now with its Flash Fiction Boot Camp series.[3] All proceeds raised from these projects help fund the magazine. The editors of Flash Me Magazine believe flash fiction authors aren't recognized often enough, and choose to showcase one author each quarter as its Feature Story. They also annually nominate authors for the Pushcart Prize.[4]
In addition to the main website, Flash Me Magazine can be found on Facebook [5] and MySpace.[6] Its official blog, The Slush Pile, offers updates on incoming submissions and other news.[7] Flash Me Magazine can be found in various market listings, most notably in Duotrope[8] and Ralan.com.[9] It is a member of the Speculative Literature Foundation Small Press Co-operative.[10]
