The Constancy of Woodpigeons our ninth anthology since we began in 2015 is back from the printers, just in time for the deadline of our 30th Award, this Sunday June 8th.

There are 137 flash fictions by writers from all over the world, who were listed in the 2024 Awards in the anthology. We’re so happy it is now ready to be posted off to contributors (or handed to them directly at the National Flash Fiction Day event in Bath on 14th June, or the Flash Fiction Festival weekend 18-20 July) We’re launching it at the festival with readings from some of the contributors attending.

The title story is by award winning writer from the UK, Tracy Fells. And she will be reading her story at the launch.

We love the picture of the Woodpigeons on the cover. The colours have come out beautifully on the printed copy. This is the fourth anthology we’ve produced with animals or birds used for the cover image. The others are The Lobsters Run Free BFFA Vol 2, With One Eye on the Cows BFFA Vol 4 and Snow Crow BFFA Vol 6.

You can buy a copy directly from adhocfiction.com or from Amazon.

Thanks to everyone who has entered our 30th Award judged by Marie Gethins so far. We look forward to reading your stories and at the end of this year also look forward to selecting one from the to inspire the cover for our 10th anthology.
