Kathy Fish

Hey friends, there's a new journal in town, called The Menu, and I'm in their debut issue alongside some greats! Wouild love for you to read my weird micro and the whole issue. 💙 www.durtybeanz.com/kathy-fish

Heads up, friends: The final workshop in the current 3-in-90 series: Moods, Memories, & Mishaps is THIS Saturday, October 31st 1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern. Still time to sign up and join us! 🎃 www.artofflashfiction.com/threein90

Fantastic collection! Everyone go and preorder! Congratulations, @abbymanzella.bsky.social 💜

Been working extremely hard, so I'm setting my massive to-do list aside and giving myself a proper Saturday. The world will not come to an end if I take a day off. The world doesn't care! Have a great weekend, friends. 💙💙💙

First time seeing a movie in a theater: My brother and his girlfriend took my younger brother and me to see Disney's 1967 version of The Jungle Book. I was seven years old.

Kicking off Friday with a win! Contributor @kathyfish.bsky.social's story “There’s Something a Little Wrong with Jean” was published in The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts! 🤩 👏 buff.ly/KFLUQUM

You don't want to miss this ghost story by @claudiamonpere.bsky.social "We ferry them too because even here, they’re all a muddle of tar and fire, sea sparkle and tsunami." 💙

I have a firm rule of never purchasing an anthology that features my work. Usually you get a free copy and/or small payment, but there've been some where you get zero payment and they seem to expect you to buy the book. Reminds me a bit of those Who's Who books back in the day.

Delighted to see there's a new (and great) story by @kellyluce.bsky.social out in the world at @splitlipthemag.bsky.social !

Oh man, this is a beauty. Big fan of @erincalabria.bsky.social 's writing.

Lord grant me the unmitigated confidence of a better-than-average young male writer.

To those who've signed up for today's workshop, see you in 15 minutes! Today, I'll share & discuss stories from Julia Alvarez, @kiklodge.bsky.social , Tobias Wolff, and @anniejowrites.bsky.social ! 💙

“Ben’s rubbing a dryer sheet over the Markus’s fur, and over his own face and forearms. There’s a certain way things feel, Ben says. It has to do with the barometric pressure. I feel my gases expanding.” @kathyfish.bsky.social | Journal of Compressed Creative Arts matterpress.com/journal/2026...

New story up today! At the Journal of Compressed Creative Arts. I'd love for you to read, "There's Something a Little Wrong with Jean." ⚡ matterpress.com/journal/2026...

Wow! Stunning! Love this. ❤️

"Lara remarks she saw Jean at the pharmacy last week. No time to chat, of course! She’s not like us, Kyle offers, tearing the mint leaves from their stems. Ben sighs. Maybe we’re not like her." Brilliance. Big love for this gem by @kathyfish.bsky.social 💙💙💙

Ahhh, I love this breathless one-sentence beauty, @anniejowrites.bsky.social 💙

"Her body turned into a telephone, an entire conversation." 🔥 Don't miss @kathyfish.bsky.social's new story ARCHAEOLOGY in the 10th anniversary issue of Ghost Parachute! 🤩 buff.ly/DFORVRZ

"The gray, which first appeared on Lance’s face, is seeping further into the house, draping the furniture, coating the walls, the decorations." Stunning story by the amazing @kathyfish.bsky.social. Incredibly imaginative, what is revealed.

Yes, I do Kathy! Need to have a big think about which one… (or ones!)

“I’ve never felt so alive!” Oh, this wonderful flash by @kathyfish.bsky.social! 🔥⚡️

“They think they might have to confront her about it today.” "𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴 ..." "𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘑𝘦𝘢𝘯." a box elder, massaging the gray, seeping “like fireflies,” “like sparklers,” like @kathyfish.bsky.social in The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts matterpress.com/journal/2026...

love @kathyfish.bsky.social ‘s newsletter and get a bit of a thrill seeing my name in there alongside so many favorites ♥️

Read "Archaeology" written by @kathyfish.bsky.social and illustrated by @kaystedmanfriedman.bsky.social. "For many years, she had to wear a back brace. It gave her a dignified air, as if a string were attached to the top of her head, pulling her up tall." tinyurl.com/bdhrhczn

Thanks so much for including me in your stupendous tenth anniversary issue, @brettpribble.bsky.social Congratulations and thanks to YOU and your hardworking editors & artists! 💙

Heads up: Tomorrow's newsletter is a big one! Hope you enjoy...💙

What a story by @kathyfish.bsky.social. The structure is incredible, the way it all turns in the middle and then the second half mirrors the first...but in a more fragmented way, like childhood memories, there, but off, needing to be excavated. So freakin' good. ghostparachute.com/issue/octobe...
