Guts is a new magazine filled with confessional essays and fiction from Irish writers like Maeve Higgins, Eithne Shortall, Neil Watkins, Laurence Mackin, Megan Nolan, Daniel Gray, Padraic E Moore and me put together by Roisin Agnew. Issue 1 with the theme The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter features artwork from Mick Minogue and design by Shane McKenna. There’s a Kickstarter to raise all the funds for printing with decent rewards that’s got off to a good start…

Sounds like it would get boring after the first issue…
You sound boring, Guts sounds exciting.
‘Guts’ sounds like a re-hashing of an idea somebody saw somewhere else…. oops :)
“a new magazine filled with confessional essays”
What? There’s a market for that?
People don’t shut the fcuk up.
Basically ever tumblr site that isn’t cats/dogs/men with legs too far apart/women eating on trains
I saw Neil Watkins’ one-man confessional show three years ago, The Year of Magical Wanking. It drained my energy dry til the next day, such was the level of self-flagellation. Enough for a lifetime’s worth of internal-organ spilling, so I won’t be reading his one.
Is that a good or a bad thing?
It was a brilliant show, but was staring at the walls unable to move after. He is a cracking writer/curator with thisispopbaby, but I’m not sure I want to hear more of his first-hand experiences from the confession booth.
For anyone else who is moved to read some of Neil Watkins’ personal confessions, here you go. It’s certainly not for the faint hearted. (Warning – contains Bikram yoga.)

Here’s what I’d like to donate to the Guts magazine “I hocked up two big chest infection oogies this morning, just after I’d finished my eggs. I was too lazy to spit them out in the jacks or whatever it is the kids are doing with their loogies these days, so I just spat them on the plate I’d just eaten off.”
Do I win a prize?

Is Guts to postsecret.com, what Medium is to Twitter? Or is it the Yahoo of Bebo?
looks impressive, i want in :-)
I had a bowl of corn flakes today. I usually put a little bit of sugar on them, but I was in a rush and couldn’t find the sugar at all and so my friends I had to have my corn flakes without any sugar at all.
This is what is sounds like when doves cry.
