Inkfish Magazine

Latest Edition

We are a literary journal for emerging and established authors and we publish flash fiction, short stories & non-fiction that prioritise voice, character and emotional engagement. Our fourth edition focuses on nature, the environment, and climate change, including nature poetry, both traditional and innovative, fractured fairytales that make the natural world their setting, and eco-fiction that intersects with the dystopian and the speculative.
