What’s this all about?
Mondettes (plural noun, mon-dɛt) = an imagined diminutive of the French word for “worlds”; little worlds; worlds on a postage stamp; a whole universe inside a thimble
Each month a different writer will recommend ten pieces of flash fiction they’ve enjoyed along with why those pieces work for them and a couple of prompts to get you writing. The list will be posted around the 20th of every month. It will include pieces published during the previous month and some pieces from further back, aiming to highlight different writers, different journals and different styles.
I hope you enjoy the recommendations.
