Pieces should be no more than 500 words and must be a complete story from beginning to end with characters and a plot. Please note that while Maternal Spark is all about Creative Motherhood - your flash fiction can be about whatever topic you like. In fact, I encourage you to write about something &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; than Motherhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Please copy and paste your flash into the body of an email and send it to: heddy.e[at]gmail[dot]com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Include: Name, email address, link to your blog or website and short, 50 word bio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Use the subject line "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Flash Fiction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;At this time, Maternal Spark is only accepting the writings of Moms. If you are not a mom (or pregnant) - I'm sorry you'll have to try again later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;You will receive a response to your submission within 30 days. Please don't worry about technical details too much. I'm really just looking for great stories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I look forward to reading your work.

Want to get your story out by being featured on Maternal Spark? Please send me an &lt;a href="mailto:heddy.e@gmail.com"&gt;email&lt;/a&gt; with "Featured Mom" in the subject line.&lt;a href="mailto:heddy.e@gmail.com"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;  Your submission should include your url(s)so I can take a peek at who you are and what you do.  Submissions will be reviewed and you will be contacted to further discuss the format for your feature post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Featured Mom pieces are posted on Fridays and revolve around the Creativity behind the mom.  While I'm happy that you are creative and smart enough to start a business, your feature may not necessarily promote that business.  My readers really want to hear about who you are as a Creative Mom instead.  You will however, receive a link to your website, blog or online store along with your feature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to advertise on Maternal Spark?
