The #flashtag writers

Tom Mason

Tom Mason is the chap behind 330 Words, the award-winning short fiction site famed for its brevity, talented submissions and blurry mobile photographs. When he’s not misusing the English language in his own stories, he’s usually dicking around on Twitter; this resulted in the creation of the soc-med-rom-com November in Manchester during 2009. Away from fiction, Tom has a beard, likes semi-colons and is very sensitive about his receding hairline.  You can torment him about it on Twitter @totmac.

Sarah-Clare Conlon

Sarah-Clare Conlon is an editor and writer. She proofreads for a number of authors, is digital marketing assistant for Manchester Literature Festival and National Flash-Fiction Day, and writes smutty short-short stories and the award-winning arts blog Words & Fixtures. She also performs as one half of Les Malheureux with “grandmaster of flash fiction” David Gaffney. You can stalk her on Twitter via @wordsnfixtures.

David Hartley

When not forcing rabbits to pose for pictures, David Hartley can be found writing short stories and even shorter film reviews. The latter prompted him to start an award-winning collaborative movie reviewing blog called Screen150 which asks the world and his wife to have brief, passionate affairs with films they love, and quick stabs in the dark at the ones they don’t. He is currently on the run from the authorities having recently exploded a supermarket but, frankly, the supermarket had it coming. Read more about that nonsense on The Exploding Supermarket. And if you want to help the police his Twitter handle is named after the farm in Zelda; @lonlonranch

Benjamin Judge

Benjamin Judge is just some dumb biffer who writes stories. He was given a magic pen by a mermaid that makes all his stories extra brilliant. He is writing a novel about how large companies unintentionally dehumanise their workforce. He likes Kinder Hippos.

Fat Roland

Fat Roland is a Mancunian journalist-turned-blogger with a passion for electronic music, which he blurts out in the form of his award-winning blog Fat Roland On Electronica. He’s a bookshop manager by day, but also DJs bleepy music in bars, produces and presents community radio, consults on blogging matters, writes and presents pub quizzes, performs comedy talks and even helps lead a Christian community based at Nexus Art Cafe. He writes fiction about tooth fairies and if you put your head in his mouth, you can hear the sea.
