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."

A portrait of Hinterland author Anna Evans.

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!)

We loved your piece, so great to see it in print!

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

It was an honour to publish your piece Alexis!
