NEW on our website, a new essay by CAMILLA GRUDOVA, part of our ongoing series of reflection on the writing life edited by Olivia Fitzsimons (@oneflawediris)

"The problem with writing money is you never know. It doesn’t follow the normal rules of other jobs where it arrives on a certain day of the month. It comes whenever, like flotsam on a beach, which is fine for the writer with a trust fund but for no one else"

NEW: After almost 8 years, we're mixing things up on The Stinging Fly Podcast. Up to now, the series has focused on the wealth of material contained in the magazine’s back catalogue and our guests have been asked to select and read a story or essay from the archive.

Starting this month, we switch the attention to more recent work with contributors to the current issue being invited to read and discuss their own writing.

On this month's episode @nicoleflattery is joined by Darragh McCausland and Nicole Morris, to read from and discuss their essays in the latest issue of The Stinging Fly magazine, Issue 51, Volume Two.
