Welcome to Fish Publishing, home of the best international writing competitions, and publisher of over 300 emerging authors and poets since 1994 in the Annual Fish Anthology.
The Fish Short Story Prize is an open door that's inviting writers to walk through it. It has to be encouraged, celebrated, congratulated.
- Roddy Doyle -
Fish is doing God's own work. It's an inspiration and an avenue to writers everywhere.
- Frank McCourt -
I hail anyone who enters the Fish Prize . . . It is difficult to create from dust, as all of us writers do. I know that the best stories are those that are still untold – so keep writing, keep creating, keep the faith.
- Colum McCann -
Honorary patrons of the Fish Short Story Prize:
