Marian is also the chair of judges for the Comedy Women in Print prize, a sponsor of the Curtis Brown Creative Marian Keyes scholarship, and ran her own hugely popular 'Instagram Live' series, bringing free creative writing courses to thousands during lockdown.

Marian's fifteenth novel, 'Again, Rachel' was a No. 1 bestseller in four global territories, and she has just published her latest best-seller, 'My Favourite Mistake'.
