The Citron Review is proud to announce our first-ever nominations for the newest edition of Best Small Fictions (Sonder Press). This anthology series started in 2015 and was founded by Citron contributor, Tara Lynn Masih. The series editor is now Nathan Leslie and this year’s guest editor is Elena M. Stiehler.

Best Small Fictions is looking for pieces under 1000 words, which is definitely a good fit for us, since we specialize in Short Forms that Shimmer – plus our word limit for Flash Fiction is exactly that.

Each of these special pieces was first published in The Citron Review during the past calendar year. 

We proudly present The Citron Review’s 2020 nominations for Best Small Fictions 2021.
