Submissions for our “Moonlight” issue are closed as of 10/15/21.

Blink-Ink has exciting plans for 2022. We have the themes all set for the next two

issues, B47 in the spring of ’22, and B48 in the summer of ’22. Kitty Wang has her

own plans and will be busy for spring. January 1st, 2022 we are increasing our

subscription rates. The new prices are only a little higher, but the funds are needed

as expenses keep going up. Both our printer and postage are up for example.

Please consider subscribing, or getting someone a gift subscription. The old rate

applies till January 1st.

This year, as in pervious years, we will be nominating for The Pushcart Prize,

the Best Micro Fiction Awards, and the Best Small Fictions Award.

More information soon.

New issue and more

       Our new issue, “Dollar Store” has mailed out. The stories in this issue are very exciting, and not at all what you would expect from the theme. Accompanying “Dollar Store” is a very nice little eight page insert piece from our sister press Kitty Wang. The art work is great in both publications, and the writing is extraordinary. 

We will have guidelines for our next issue posted soon. Thank you’ll for your support

We are very pleased to announce that Claire Polders has won he Best Microfictions Award for 2021. Her story “Stella is” was published as part of the “Jane Doe” supplement from our sister press, The Mambo Academy of Kitty Wang. A Zoom reading of “Jane Doe” was hosted earlier this year by Nancy Stolhman, and we hope to have it posted on our site soon. Thank you to the judges, the participants, and of course to Claire Polders. Congratulations!

Water, issue 44

Our Water issue, has mailed out for June 1st 2021 delivery. The very lovely cover art and end papers (yes, an issue with end papers) is by the talented Roberta Warshaw. The stories inside are amazing. The issue runs a little long at 24 pages, rather than our usual 20, and every story is a gem. Writers you may recognize, and others you may not. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already. We thank everyone who sent in their work, and everyone who chipped in time or money. It means the world to us that people care.
