Cover letter
Tell us whatever you need to tell us, BIO of up to 200 words. The only thing we ask is please mention any content warnings in your cover letter - it won't stop us accepting your work, but we will be able to read it prepared. Don't stress about anything else in the cover letter, it's your writing that matters. If we need to know something before publishing and you haven't mentioned it, we'll ask.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Word or Google Doc please Ideally 12pt in an easy read font, but as long as its not wingdings or comic sans, you're grand (we will put it in our house font when we publish, so if you have used formatting for artistic purposes please mention in your cover letter)
Author's rights
When you submit to Neither Fish Nor Foul you grant us First World Electronic Rights which are Exclusive only until the work is published by Neither Fish Nor Foul, after which time all rights revert to you, the author.
