What is Make BElieve?
Make Believe is an online journal of innovative writing about craft, design and creativity. Make Believe supports writing that is beautiful, radical and wise. Since 2013, it has considered, ranted, struggled, mused on, and thought about the process of making.

Year of Irish Design 2015
As part of ID2015, Make Believe invited nine inspiring Irish writers to contribute new work to the journal. These poets, novelists, songwriters and playwrights responded to the theme of craft, design and making in their own genres.
