Beginner’ s Pluck

Emily Gillmor Murphy

As a child, Emily read instead of watching TV. She attempted her first novel during her Leaving Certificate, and, after encouragement from agent Marianne Gunn O’Connor, she wrote You and I at UCD.

“Marianne got me a great two book deal. It’s being published in England, Germany and Russia too. I had my last edits and my finals in the same week.”
