Podcast time! This was such a fun project to be involved with – I was invited by MoLi – Museum of Literature Ireland… to talk about my favourite subject – writing. Interviewer, Lily Cahill, was such a toughie*!

In this episode of the NovelTeens podcast, our host Lily Cahill chats to E.R. Murray about exploration, empathy and asks, ‘What’s wrong with dreaming?’”

NovelTeens is a podcast for young people about words, creativity and inspiration brought to you by MoLI. In this series, we will be asking authors deep-dive questions on how they became writers, their writing process, and generally picking their brains.

You can hear the podcast here!

*Lily is adorable. Enjoy! 🙂

Interview on Middle Grade Strikes Back

The Black Lotus by Kieran Fanning – ninjas & adventure. Recommend!

A wonderful site, Middle Grade Strikes Back is dedicated to all things middle grade books – and I’m delighted to have been interviewed by the lovely (fellow author) Kieran Fanning!

For those of you who are new to this term, middle grade refers to books for children aged 8-12. It’s an industry term, and you’ll find that although most middle grade authors don’t particularly like the term, it’s useful because it helps publishers, librarians and booksellers categorise the books so it reaches the correct readership.

Thanks so much to Kieran for the great questions – and if you haven’t read Kieran’s great debut (see picture), I highly recommend it. In the meantime, you can read my interview about writing and #TheBookofLearning here!!
