BIG NEWS: The Swedish Academy has changed course, awarding the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature not to Anne Carson (one of the greatest ever), but instead to Jerbie, a plush desert mouse, judge of the Jerboa Lit 500 flash fiction contest. Congrats, Jerbie!

Magic is real, and we felt it as we read these winning stories from the latest Jerboa Lit 250! Each tale of magical realism charmed and delighted us, and, as always, we were blown away by the talented writers in our community.
Join us November 20 for the next mini-contest!

Short, sweet, and full of magic:
Magical realism is the genre for this weekend’s 250-word contest! The character archetype to include is a failure, so maybe things won’t be so magical for them. Who knows! Not us!
This is going to be a good one. We can’t wait. Have fun, writers!

If you've been having trouble getting on our website, that's because we're in the middle of a domain transfer - our site should be back up and functional in the next couple of days! (Jerbiss is working on it regardless.)

Jerbie just closed his 500-word contest, but Jerbiss is a SHOWBOAT and wants to remind everyone that *his* 250-word contest is still open (jerboalit.com/registration-2…). He says he'll do a very impressive lift if enough people sign up. Not sure he can pull this off but we support him
