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. For the months of November, December, and January, only one issue per month is published. 

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.

Submissions are always open. Never a fee. Click Here For Submission Guidelines.
