How Outsiders Write Flash Fiction: A Short Guide by Dakria

The secrets of writing flash fiction that hits hard, lingers in the mind, and stands out from the crowd.
How Outsiders Write Flash Fiction is a practical, inspiring guide for writers who embrace the unconventional, the bold, and the outsider perspective. Whether you're an emerging author, a seasoned storyteller, or someone who struggles to fit in the traditional literary world, this book offers the tools, strategies, and encouragement to master the art of ultra-short fiction.

Inside, you'll discover:

Flash Fiction Fundamentals – Learn the core principles of stories under 1,000 words, from hooks that grab attention to endings that land. Step-by-Step Construction – A personal framework for planning, shaping, and focusing your stories for maximum impact. Editing Strategies – Precise techniques to sharpen language, control rhythm, and compress every word without losing meaning. Outsider Perspective – Tips to craft protagonists, settings, and themes that are bold, unconventional, and unforgettable. Submission & Publishing Guidance – From pre-submission checklists to tracking submissions, learn how to navigate literary markets like a professional. Community & Inspiration – Insight into WATG (Writing Against The Grain), a home for misfit voices and outsider creators, where your work can truly belong.

This guide is perfect for writers of flash fiction, microfiction, short stories, and experimental narratives. It's especially valuable for creators who want to embrace nontraditional voices, outsider perspectives, surreal or stylized worlds, and intense emotional impact in every word.

Stop struggling. Start writing stories that shock, disturb, enchant, and linger. How Outsiders Write Flash Fiction is your map, your toolkit, and your cheerleader all in one.

What WATG Is and What It Does?

WATG is a groundbreaking project and safe haven for misfit voices, outsider monsters, and unconventional humans alike. It exists to give the unheard a stage: new writers, underrepresented creators, neurodivergent storytellers, and anyone whose voice struggles to be seen in mainstream spaces.

Through its Substack, WATG, Writing Against The Grain, the platform publishes open and completely free calls for submissions and more. Unlike larger publications, WATG actively notices talent. Stories with strength and potential are not overlooked; writers are offered guidance and advice to help their work reach its fullest expression.

More than a publication, WATG is a community, a loyal and passionate network of writers who embrace their outsider status and seek a space where they truly belong, even when the wider world offers little room for them.
