The Stinging Fly

The Stinging Fly has existed up until now on half a shoestring, surviving on a wing and something a bit like a prayer.

The magazine has enjoyed the support of a number of businesses and organisations who have been willing to place advertisements in the magazine.

The Stinging Fly would, however, almost certainly have failed by now if it were not for the willingness of a number of individuals to give their time, energy and talents to the cause.
