Birmingham Words Pamphlets: 

The following publications are free to download and distribute.

Issue #4: Perfectly Formed

For this, our latest issue, we asked contributors to send us stories that weigh in at three hundred words or under. There is a lot of short ‘flash fiction’ around these days, but we were looking for stories that were crafted and refined. With more design wizardry from The Graphic Aware, this is a fabulous looking publication, featuring the work of Ann Alexander, Robert Ronsson, Frances Gapper, Emily Eatwell, Tina Freeth and John Welch.
