Here are Synkroniciti’s nominations for Best Small Fictions from 2023. This list includes some of our favorite work from “Broken” and “Space.” This is a new anthology contest for us and we are excited to put forward three nominees in flash fiction–a new category we added in 2023, and one in prose poetry. All of these submissions are under 400 words. Good luck, everyone!
