six little things
is a quarterly online literary magazine devoted to an underappreciated genre, the short prose thing. Some will call them "prose poems," others "short short stories," and you may feel free to argue amongst yourselves all you'd like, but I am happy calling them very nice paragraphs and recommending a maximum count of 250 words.
Every issue of Six Little Things contains six original works, each written by a different writer and each responding to a previously announced theme or phrase. Submissions have closed for issue number twenty, Fall 2010, which will be published September 24. Six Little Things is not accepting submissions at the present time.
