Welcome to Gooseberry Pie
Gooseberry publishes Microfiction stories that are exactly six-sentences with less than 400 words (excluding title). We publish new stories on the first and third Thursday of every month.
We like stories that are like gooseberry pie: Tart, Messy, and Satisfying. We have a weakness for quirky characters and unusual settings. We’re not so crazy about joke endings. With microfiction (and flash fiction) every word matters.
