Support Us

We four editors - Patch, Rosie, Steve & Sinéad - produce The Four Faced Liar on a completely voluntary basis, motivated solely by our determination to support emerging writers and artists, and by all the heartwarming feedback we get from our contributors and readers. We are grateful to have received some funding from Cork City Council.

However, the cost of paying our writers and artists (a priority for us) plus funding the graphic design, the print run and the launch event outstrips the council grant. But a launch is so important, not only because it raises the profile of the journal – we have gotten great coverage and associated sales – but also because it provides an opportunity for our writers to read in public, often for the first time, thus raising awareness of their brilliant work. Our launches of previous issues have been fabulous occasions and we very much intend that the Issue 3 event - again in the Firkin Crane, right beside the Shandon Bells (Cork’s famous ‘Four Faced Liar’) - will be even more wonderful.

If you would like to support our production of issue 3 as well as future issues you can support us in one of two ways:

‘Buy Me a Coffee’ is a facility that enables people to donate anything from €5 (one coffee) to €25 (five coffees). If you’d like to do this, please go to: buymeacoffee.com/the4facedliar

Or - if you are in a position to make a much larger donation of €250 (or more) - you could consider becoming a Friend of the Liar. In this case, please email us by Monday 25 September with ‘FRIEND’ in the subject line, and we will contact you with our bank details (IBAN) and reference code, and ask you to confirm whether or not you wish to remain anonymous. Each Friend of the Liar will receive a copy of Issue 3 (in which all non-anonymous Friends will be listed) and an invitation to the launch. And we hope that, once someone becomes a Friend, they will stay involved with us as The Four Faced Liar grows its output and its reputation as a first-rate Irish (Cork-based) literary journal.
