To be fair for all entrants, submission guidelines must be followed. Submissions must be attached to the email as a PDF or WORD document.

I understand that there are no submission fees and that READ offers cash rewards to those who win the Flash Contests, but does READ offer any monetary compensation to those whose work is accepted for general publication?

As payment for publication in its electronic edition:

Prize winning entries receive stated cash sum.

Non-prize winning entries selected for publication receive $25 paid upon publication of the issue.

All published authors receive one-year free access to the subscriber section of READ magazine including all currently offered benefits.

How are you specifically defining flash fiction? I've seen different outlets set different word counts, and I'd like to be sure that a submission will hit your criteria.
