About the contest, Paul says:

I’m looking for writing I haven’t read before. Original, emotional, creative—a story I’ll want to share and want others to share. Good luck!

Contest Rules:

One entry per author.

Send your entry pasted into the body of an email and also as a .doc attachment (in the same email) to brilliantflashfiction@gmail.com. There are no specific font or formatting requirements. Authors retain all rights to submitted work. Deadline is September 15, 2016 midnight in Dublin, Ireland.

No poetry, essays, non-fiction or memoir, please. Stories unrelated to the theme “It Came in the Mail” will be disqualified.
