Marian Keyes is a singular force in contemporary literature, whose genre-bending novels have transformed the literary landscape over three decades. With millions of copies sold internationally, her groundbreaking works, from Rachel’s Holiday and Anybody Out There to Grown Ups, have earned her a passionate worldwide following drawn to her extraordinary blend of razor-sharp wit, unflinching honesty, and masterful storytelling that transforms everyday experiences into universal truths.

Her influence extends far beyond her own celebrated writing. As a fierce advocate for emerging talent, Keyes has dedicated herself to nurturing the next generation of storytellers through her work as chair of judges for the Comedy Women in Print prize and her sponsorship of the Curtis Brown Creative Marian Keyes scholarship. Her innovative approach to literary education reached new heights with her wildly successful Instagram Live series, where she delivered free creative writing masterclasses to thousands of aspiring writers worldwide.

Her commercial triumph mirrors her critical success perfectly. Grown Ups, her fourteenth novel, dominated bestseller charts immediately upon release, claiming the top spot in both hardback and paperback editions across four major territories: the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The novel’s exceptional quality earned recognition through its shortlisting for the British Book Awards Audiobook of the Year, cementing her reputation for excellence.
