Issue 15 celebrates Hinterland’s fifth anniversary by turning its pages over to a non-fiction genre most frequently submitted to the magazine: memoir and life writing.

Our contributors take a personal lens to a broad range of subjects, from grappling with health anxiety to a past life in a strip club. Relationships are explored - between family members, between a death row prisoner and his pen pal, between the self and a country and language. Autobiographical stories are told through everyday objects and mundane structures while the death of a loved one is recounted through artefacts that heartbreakingly remind his fiancée of his life.

Featuring writing by Ashley Barker, James Roderick Burns, Sarah Clement, Sarah Davies, Mark Foss, Sheena Graham-George, Rose Kemsley, Julia Martinčič, Lottie O’Conor, Sarah Passingham, Jay Prosser, Electra Rhodes, Rob McClure Smith and Kareem Tayyar, with cover art by Elizabeth Goian.
