In the Beginning

I admit that when Pen Pricks began, Elizabeth and I felt a bit obligated to publish every submission we received. We had to learn to toughen our editor's hides as we sought to present the finest of the 55 word fiction that entered Pen Pricks' submission email inbox. Rejection of some submissions became inevitable.

Not every submission will strike our fancy as much as another submission, unfortunately. But please don't let rejections stop you from writing. After all, your next submission just might find publication. So keep writing!

Welcome!

Pen Pricks Micro Fiction is an online magazine of 55 word fiction, and this is where the webzine's editors share their thoughts, opinions, and tidbits on the inner workings of Pen Pricks.

Each post will be approximately 55 words long. Why? Only because C. M. and I thought it would be fun and interesting.
