Grow Your Writing Skills

Flash fiction is one of the best ways to hone your writing skills! Limited in wordcount, writing flash fiction gives a breath of life to your imagination, and helps you grow your storytelling skills to a whole new level of expertise.  

Join The Writing Community

Writing may be solitary work, but creating a life-changing story? That requires a community. The Writer Games is a place where you can connect with fellow writers, geek about torturing beloved characters, and eat lots and lots of chocolate. 

Create Something Beautiful

Ernest Hemmingway once said, “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”  Our goal is to inspire writers to create small slithers of fiction, in order to draw out the beauty of story in its purest form. 

OUR ORIGIN STORY:

July 3rd, 2019 two writers began talking about hosting a giveaway together, and of course, whenever writers are involved things always get WAY more complicated and brainstormy than planned.
​ About 25 emails later and they had schemed up a contest like none other -- a contest that would drive writers into the literary arena of flash fiction! A contest that would bestow the glory of the Olympics in word form! A contest that would inspire writers and readers alike! And they dubbed it, "The Writer Games".
