an online journal of innovative writing about craft, design and creativity

Since 2013, Make Believe has considered, ranted, struggled, mused on and thought about the process of making. As part of the Irish Year of Design 2015, we have invited nine inspiring Irish writers to contribute new work to the journal. These poets, novelists, songwriters and playwrights will respond to the themes of craft, design and making in their own genres. Their work will be published alongside our regular content.

Co-edited by Eleanor Flegg, Roger Bennett & Jessica Hemmings.
