Print Form: Subscribe To Blink Ink Print

Blink Ink Online is a site devoted to very short fiction, 50 words or less. The Editors feel micro-fiction in it’s many forms has become overlooked both by online literary sites and small press publishers.

A blink of words, just a handful, is how we share our lives and thoughts, with one another. We at Blink-Ink hope you will share the words of your worlds through us.
FICTION: Traditional shorts, with beginning, middle, and end containing characters, plot, conflict and resolution are welcome. Experimental, and other styles of very short fiction are also encouraged. We are also very interested in “Smudge fiction.” A blink, an emotion, an impression, a memory fragment perhaps, something caught merely from the corner of the eye (or was it?).
