The Citron Review is proud to announce our first-ever nominations for the newest edition of Best Small Fictions. This anthology series started in 2015 and was founded by Citron contributor, Tara Lynn Masih. The series editor is now Nathan Leslie.

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 were lucky to place two pieces in the excellent 2021 anthology. They are Melissa Llanes Brownlee’s “A Primo Place to Stay” and Mehr-Afarin Kohan’s “The Border Town.”

We proudly present The Citron Review’s 2022 nominations for Best Small Fictions 2023.
