Emer Murray

Emer is a Mam and author living in Dublin. Having written stories and poems since a young age and worked in the legal sector for 10 years, she delved into the magical world of children’s picture books inspired by the endless imagination of her young son.

Emer is passionate about preserving and cultivating the special place that literature holds in children’s lives. She has seen first-hand how instrumental it is for children in terms of cognitive and mental development, understanding the world around them and instilling a love of language and art.

Aside from creating magical worlds for children as they snuggle up for a story at bedtime, she is passionate about bringing these worlds to life through local events and real-life engagement such as dramatised readings to further encourage a love of reading, particularly considering the ever-increasing prevalence of passive screen-based entertainment. Emer also endeavours to make her stories entertaining for the adult reader.
