OPINION

While Covid has closed one avenue of editorial release, I refuse to put my own creative pursuits under lockdown or curfew. Here’s to deeper, more engaging content.

NATHAN HILL

Nathan Hill is Practical Fishkeeping magazine’s editor, biotope fancier and aquascape dabbler, who has just started breeding Julidochromis again for old times’ sake.

LIKE MOST editors, I’m always looking for my next creative project. This year I had a fishy literary adventure lined up, a magazine simply called ‘Fish’, which was to be a celebration of creative non-fiction. It was to be an exploration of fish in all of their forms; habitats, biology, importance to humans, current affairs and more. Unfortunately, Covid came along, and now that we’re due for a recession I fret that launching a new title with a high cover price (this mag was destined to be a beautiful coffee-table piece) is a bad idea. The idea lives on, but Fish’s date of birth remains uncertain.
