Beginner’s Pluck: Eleanor Fitzsimons

Eleanor worked in consumer research for years; first in Dublin, then London, but after the birth of her first child, she decided not to return to work at once, and the new family returned to Dublin.

“In about 2006, I started writing features and opinion pieces for newspapers and magazines, and I got on a few radio shows.”

Wanting a bigger project, Eleanor returned to college, then started work on a book about Harriet Shelley.
