flash & cinder is a new flash fiction and poetry magazine edited by Matthew Thorpe-Coles, publishing twice a year. Each issue is based around a single word with calls for submissions that reflect it, allowing for a deep exploration of a lone concept/idea.

With an emphasis on clean design and minimalism, flash & cinder aims to let writing lift itself from the pages and create scintillating collections. Editions will be primarily web based, though we are looking to print a select few to gauge general interest.

flash & cinder is in early days, though we are set to be a flagrant journal. If you have any enquiries surrounding our ethos or want to see when we’re open for submissions, please check our blog on this site or email us at flashandcinder@gmail.com
