## Description

THE WRITING FISH Writing grip ergonomically designed in the UK as an aid for people with arthritis, grip difficulties, writer's cramp and other writing syndromes. Black ink.

Review: Grip impaired...this is the best catch!!! - Bought for a friend who has MS & often finds their grip is compromised...of all the aids available this is simple and super effective - might not be the cheapest but it is super effective and is easy to replace the pen. If you have (or knows someone who has) issues with their grip this is quite literally a game changer.
Review: A lifesaver! - I've recently changed jobs and now have to write more than I've done since school days :-) I've had RSI in the past and probably have mild arthritis. My hand after one week of using a BIC pen was intensely sore. Found the Writing Fish on desertcart and it's been an absolute lifesaver - going to buy more! Had to change the pen it came with as soon as I received the delivery as our work only uses blue ink for regulation purposes - definitely leave the fish in hot water for 10 mins rather than the 5 suggested to replace the pens, but it's hot hot hot. Couldn't recommend this product highly enough - only suggestion is to make other colours.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you replace the biro with your own pens?**
A: It’s designed specifically for the BIC Cristal pen. The hole is the exact same shape. It may fit other pens but, it would be at your own risk.

**Q: Does this work for left handers?**
A: Yes it will do. I use mine all the time at work.  It's really chunky and didn't take me long to adjust writing with it

**Q: What way do you hold it? Fish eye to the side or facing up?**
A: The tail goes at the nib end. I didn't find it comfortable to hold but found a "fat", round and smooth pen much better such as Lamy or Berol.
