Our story
Our team has been working hard to create quality genre magazines since our beginnings in June 2022. Since then, we've constantly looked at ways to improve our output for writers and readers alike. That culminated in a reader survey at the beginning of 2023, and the result is our new platform, Inspiring Fiction.
​
Most of our team work exclusively on Tangled Web Magazine. Mirk is taking baby steps forward and over time our editor-in-chief hopes to add to the fantasy fiction team.
Our team
Craig Kelly
Editor-in-Chief
A self-confessed book addict, Craig previously worked as a copyeditor and proofreader, sat on the board of an academic publisher, and continues to wrestle with a never-ending PhD.
He spends his days in the world of political communications where his columns and news articles have been published in local and national newspapers.
A native of Scotland, Craig spent five years living in the Nordic countries where he developed a passion for mythic fiction and fantasy.
Julie Ford
Deputy Editor
Julie is a founding member of Tangled Web Magazine. A keen enthusiast for the art of creative writing, Julie works as an English teacher by day, while battling with an insomniac toddler by night.
Before joining the teaching profession, she spent many years working as a communications officer at both Holyrood and Westminster.
Julie is an eclectic and demanding reader who can often be found juggling several books, short stories, and a lesson plan.
