Festival participants said:
“It was my maiden participation in the Flash Fiction Festival 2025 at Trinity College, Bristol. Had I not attended the Festival, I would have missed many momentous things—beaming faces, fresh flashes, ennobling exchanges with first-rate flash fiction writers, riveting readings, wit-winging workshops, and delectable dishes. Kudos to Jude Higgins and her team of volunteers for their invaluable service to the alluring art of Flash Fiction! For me, the Festival was not merely an event but a vibrant laboratory of creativity.”
– Paritosh Chandra Dugar, a Prize Winning Flash Fiction Writer from India
“It was my first year at the festival, and I didn’t know what to expect. What I found was people from everywhere, carrying their stories like small lanterns. Together, we made a brief, brilliant light – enough to see one another clearly, enough to see the work ahead. I carried that brightness home. For me, the festival lingers like a candle in the window, and I’m grateful to have found a light I can return to, year after year.”
– Rena Willis writing from Costa Rica
