Books are my business: Lily Keohane of Waterstones

Lily's role covers all the new Irish publishing: books written by an Irish person, published by an Irish publisher, or anything about Ireland

Lily Keohane: 'I’ve always wanted to work with books. I was a voracious reader as a kid, I would read a book in one sitting and then move on to the next one.'

Lily Keohane holds the role of Irish commercial support at Waterstones, responsible for all Irish publishing in the bookshop chain’s 13 stores in Ireland. 

She is based at Waterstones on Patrick’s Street, Cork; originally from Bantry, Co Cork, she lives in Cork City.
