LAUNCH EVENT FOR THE UL CREATIVE WRITING FESTIVAL, APRIL 2025.
Marian Keyes is a phenomenon. The multimillion copy, internationally bestselling author of some of the most widely loved, genre-defying novels of the past thirty years – including Rachel’s Holiday, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups – has millions of devoted readers around the world. My Favourite Mistake is her sixteenth novel.
In addition to her fifteen previous novels, Marian has also written three collections of journalism, upon which popular BBC Radio 4 show Between Ourselves was based. Marian co-hosts the hit podcast Now You’re Asking with actress Tara Flynn for BBC Sounds and Radio 4, now on its third series.
In 2021 she was Irish Book Awards Author of the year, and in 2022, she was named the British Book Awards Author of the Year. Marian lives in Dublin. She holds an honorary PhD from the University of Limerick in recognition of her unparalleled achievements as a writer. At this unique evening, she will be in conversation with Joseph O’Connor, novelist, radio diarist and UL’s Frank McCourt Chair of Creative Writing. He will also read from his own work.
