We've just posted a new Q&A with Robert Butroyd to our Substack (link in bio), whose flash nonfiction is in our latest issue. He said it's about "discovering that Bradford’s literary tradition, stretching back to JB Priestley and John Braine is rooted in internal as well as international migration."

We can't wait to read this! @adamjfarrer.bsky.social's essays are always wonderful to read.
Because an essay collection isn’t the easiest thing to convey in a single post, here's a thread outlining each of the essays, which are 'by turns tender, disarmingly honest and achingly funny' (@tawseefkhan.bsky.social) Pre-order it now if you like.

We chatted to Anna Evans about her piece, Talisman: "It's about borderlands and was inspired by journeys along the border between France and Spain. I was interested in the tumultuous histories that could be found just below the surface." You can read the full Q&A over at our Substack (link in bio!)

Arrived home to my contributor copy of @hinterlandnf.bsky.social issue 16 'Journeys special.' So excited to see my work featured, and to read the whole mag! Confidence and focus ebb and flow as a writer, and mine has been more ebb of late, so this is good timing... #naturewriting #amwriting
