Michelle McDonagh’s debut novel There’s Something I Have To Tell You became an Irish bestseller going to Number two in the Top Ten when it was published in April of this year by Hachette Ireland.

Michelle has been writing stories since she was a child in primary school, and it had always been her dream to write a novel. After far too many years of intense procrastination, she enrolled in the on online novel writing course in 2019 and decided to step back from journalism for a while to focus on finishing her first novel.

A native of Galway, she has over 25 years experience as a journalist. She was a staff reporter with The Connacht Tribune in Galway for twelve years before going freelance. She worked for all of the Irish national and tabloid papers covering news and courts, before switching solely to features and

health, mainly for The Irish Times. She now lives in Blarney where she is married with three children, and a very cute cavapoo.
