Clem Cairns started Fish Publishing out of surprise and dismay that in Ireland - a spiritual home of the short story - it was so hard to get published.

Before all this he was a fisherman, farmer, sign-maker. Originally from Dublin, he lives in West Cork with his partner Jula Walton and their five children.
