ALL ABOUT
Neither Fish Nor Foul
Meet the Crew
Editor, Bear Interpreter, Conqueror of Websites
Likes pirates, parrots and puns. Will not tolerate jelly or pink wafer biscuits (or Coldplay but that goes without saying).
A full-time carer and some-time writer, who is allegedly working on a black comedy crime novel, but writes flash for the dopamine hit of completing something.
Her recent work can be found in Trash Cat Lit, Punk Noir, Silly Goose Press, Urban Pigs Hunger Anthology, Does It Have Pockets and Witcraft.
A sarcastic binfire of toxic fumes or, as the school photographer said, 'a pickled plum'.
Jude Potts
First Mate
Editor, Word Wrangler
Jack is a lot less worried about jelly and squirrels than Jude, so we've got all bases covered. She spent her middle years resolutely not writing until 2019 when she started a Creative Writing MA with the Open University 'to see if she liked it'. A bold move in retrospect but she got a Distinction and a love of short form fiction so she counts it as a win.
She's been published by Kaleidotrope, NFFD, Brilliant Flash Fiction, Free Flash Fiction, Willesden Herald, Roi Fainéant Press and a few other places besides.
Her work was twice Pushcart Nominated in 2023 which suggests lightning can indeed strike twice.

Our Story
One day Jack was looking for somewhere to submit a piece of writing (a lightish piece with Themes but not, you know, get you in the stomach ones. Not funny, but not NOT funny). Jude said her own work was often just 'a bit weird, but not really out there' and not lyrical nor gritty, not fantasy or horror or literary. Jack suggested they start their own magazine to give them and like-minded folk a chance to be heard.
They thought Neither Fish Nor Fowl would be a great name for it - except Jude isn't the best typist in the world, so it morphed into Neither Fish Nor Foul - which they like better anyway.
It started as a joke. But here we are. In any case, Cap'n Dave needs stories to keep those pesky Gander Brothers off his back.
Jack and Jude are keen to create a supportive creative community, where writers at all stages of their writing life can thrive and support each other. They’re are keen this community be inclusive, and writers from all communities can feel at home here.
