The Cathach
THE CATHACH is an online literary magazine, published bi-annually by Sligo County Libraries, with the aim of showcasing quality new writing in poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. While honouring the literary traditions of Sligo and the Northwest, THE CATHACH features work from both new and established writers in Sligo and throughout Ireland. At a time when many smaller literary magazines are facing difficulties, it aims to provide a vital outlet for the best contemporary writing, making exciting new work freely available to a vast online readership around the world.

Sligo Libraries are dedicated to developing, supporting and promoting literature throughout Sligo and the North West, and THE CATHACH is a unique part of this endeavour, bringing writers and readers together in an online reading-room where quality and newness meet. Please join us.
