Hello again. We're pleased to present you with another edition of the HU. It is as always brimful of interviews with local and internationally based authors. We're always delighted to be able to highlight the work of emerging and more established writers. We also amongst other things delve into the past with a feature on Everyman magazine, one of the HU's contemporaries back in the day plus an article on the well-known Donegal story-teller Seán Ó hEochaidh not to mention James Gallagher's continuing series on the unpublished writing of Gerard Keenan, our very own Jude the Obscure. We have always been acutely aware of the importance of the history of the Honest Ulsterman so we're pleased to say that we will have news soon of a project that will see the printed editions of the HU put online. More news of this soon. Watch this space as they say. Thanks to everyone that submitted to the open submission call. We've said it before but it is always worth repeating: if you weren't successful in submitting to this issue it doesn't mean you won't be to the next so keep submitting! Thanks to all our writers and interviewers/interviewees. We couldn't do it without you. Image is by David Haughey, the Featured Artist this issue.
