Call for submissions: Flash Fiction International

From our friends up the hill at the International Writing Program, this call for submissions:

"For a forthcoming Norton anthology, Flash Fiction International, edited by Robert Shapard, James Thomas, and Christopher Merrill:

We are looking for contemporary very short stories in English or English translation, limit about 1,000 words. We usually reprint works already published, but will also consider original manuscripts.

We would be very grateful for networking help, and leads to new work (names of authors, translators, books) with contact numbers if possible.

We also want quotes about or relevant to very short fiction (from writers in the form, or from any field—aesthetics, philosophy, physics, other arts, popular culture); we will be glad to acknowledge you and send a free copy of the book.

Deadline: December 31, 2012.

Send submissions or leads to Christopher Merrill, 100 Shambaugh House, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, or christopher-merrill [AT] uiowa [DOT] edu"
