New year, new volume of Cinders

Welcome to volume two! This last year has been one of the best experiences all of us who work on Cinders have ever had. It has been so wonderful to watch this magazine become a reality, moving on from a dream that many of us have shared for many years. It gives us so much pleasure to take our little magazine that could from its first issues into our second year.

We’ve had some incredible highlights from issue one, from interviews with the likes of Ashely Clements, Mary Kate Wiles, Deirdre Sullivan, Meg Grehan, Karen Vaughan and Diana Mirza to looking at feminist influences in pop culture. We’ve looked at some of our favorite tv shows, brilliant movies and incredible historical figures with all around feminist and entertaining writer, Grainne Coyne! We also were lucky enough to be finalists in the V by Very Blog awards Ireland in the books and literature category and shortlisted in the Politics category!

Competition Giveaway! Win a copy of Owning It by Caroline Foran!

We are delighted to announce that thanks to the wonderful Caroline Foran and the kind people at Hachette Books Ireland Cinders have four copies of Caroline Foran’s Owning It.

We’ll be reviewing Owning It in our next issue of Cinders and would like to give you a chance to get your own copy.

For those facing the same struggle, Caroline explores exactly what anxiety is, its triggers and the various treatments – from CBT, acupuncture, diet and the often debated role of medication – that worked for her. With honesty, humour and a bullsh*t free perspective, Owning It is a no-frills account of anxiety from the front line.

Caroline Foran is now a freelance lifestyle journalist working in Dublin, writing for publications such as the Sunday Business Post and the Irish Times, as well as running her own digital publishing venture, GAFFInteriors.ie.

Having experienced the full spectrum of anxiety, from dealing with everyday work stresses – that are, of course, par for the course in today’s high-octane society – to a period of time where leaving the house alone proved difficult, Caroline has been chronicling her experiences and all that she’s learned in various published writings.

Caroline Foran was also nominated for a Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Award in the Ireland AM Popular Non Fiction Book of the Year category.
