CURLY NEWS FLASH: Our lil’ magazine shock full of talent has reached maximum capacity for this website platform. The editor will be moving the entire site to a freshly branded and filled up publication by Spring 2012. Thank you for your patience and support of Curly Red Stories!

Curly Red Stories is an online publication for writers of flash fiction.

Like the gypsies who dance in small spaces yet build a whole culture from what they say with their feet, Curly Red Stories aims to celebrate the gems of story that fly out of limited spaces.
Editor and founder of CR Stories, Niya C Sisk focused her MFA critical thesis at Vermont College of Fine Arts, on the power of design in story—Fiction as a design act; a compressed instance of story in a small space. CR Stories gives rise to writers who have a little designer in them. Enjoy CR Stories. Leave comments, we love that!

There is a certain simplicity in Curly Red Stories that sticks out and refreshes you I think, and that’s an awesome feeling.
