ISSUE 1 IS HERE!
Welcome to Thin Skin, the literary magazine for writers who may not be in the first flush of youth – but who are amazing writers. In Issue 1, our inaugural issue, we offer you an array of wonderful stories by talented writers from the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK.
Many thanks are due – to you, of course, who have taken time out to visit. We hope the short stories and flash fictions the readers and editorial team have selected from the many that crowded into our inbox will underline the talent that is out there!
Enormous thanks to the team of readers who have been working hard to sift the submissions. We are grateful to you for your forensic eye and excellent choices. The readers work in pairs, so each submission has at least two close reads, and only those submissions which are rated highly by the reading team progress to the next stage – scrutiny from the editors. For those who are interested in statistics, we have accepted just 2% of our submissions for this issue.
We are looking forward to the submissions for the next issue! Please note, we’ve changed our flash fiction criteria. There is now no minimum word count so you can submit anything up to and including 1000 words.
Head over to the submit page for full guidelines. As ever, we look forward to reading your work.
The Thin Skin Team
