Eimear McBride is a published Irish novelist.

The author was born in 1976 to Irish parents in Liverpool. Both of her parents worked as nurses. When she was three years old, her family moved back to Ireland. Growing up, she spent much of her childhood in Tubbercurry, Sligo and Mayo. She also had an early interest in writing when she was 7 or 8 years old.

When she was 17 years old, she decided to move back to London as a young adult. She studied acting while attending the Drama Centre in London. However, after studying there for a time and even graduating, the author realized that she did not want to pursue becoming an actress since she had no interest in it.

Her first novel to come out is titled A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing. The 2013 novel was written in the course of six months but had a harder time getting published. After nine years, Norwich’s Galley Beggar Press decided that it wanted to publish the novel.

A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing was the recipient of the inaugural Goldsmiths Prize. It also won the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year, The Desmond Elliott Prize, the Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction, and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Award. It made the short list for the Inaugural Folio Prize 2014.

Her second novel to come out was The Lesser Bohemians. The novel was short listed for many prizes and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. She also discussed the book as part of her promotion on the Woman’s Hour. It was also reviewed on the Saturday Review on BBC Radio 4.

The author has also given forewords to certain books. These include Folio Society’s Selected Poems of Anna Akhmatova, Faber & Faber’s Sundog: The Lyrics of Scott Walker, and Faber and FSG’s The Country Girls Trilogy by Edna O’Brien.

McBride also has had her short stories appear in a number of publications, including the Guardian, The Long Gaze Back, Dubliners 100, Prospect Magazine, Curfew Editions’ Winter Papers, and on BBC Radio 4.

The author enjoys Russian literature and in 2000 spent four months in Saint Petersburg. When she came back, she travelled in addition to working as an office temp. During this time, she completed her first book. She came back to Cork for a time in 2006 and started working on her second book. She is married and has a daughter along with her husband. After living in Norwich for some time, they moved to London together in 2017.
