Emer Cleary
With an Honours Degree in Journalism and Editorial Design Emer worked for 10 years in the newspaper and magazine industry between the UK and Ireland. In 2006 she started as a Senior Reporter for The Echo, Tallaght; where, within 1.5 years, at 27, she became the youngest ever, female Editor, on a title belonging to Scotland’s Johnston Press Group – which owned circa 300 newspapers, at the time.

Emer runs the Emu Ink Publishing business as well as edits, sells and takes schools from pitch through to purchase.

As a child, Emer loved to write. Since she was able to, she wrote her own “books” complete with illustrations and drawings. She always knew she wanted to be a writer and has a copybook from 2nd class (about 8 years old) at school, declaring this.

Emer knows what it is like to have always wanted to be a writer and is passionate about encouraging children to follow their dreams – as well as rewarding them through publication, for doing so.

Emer’s favourite place to be is anywhere with her three children and husband, Brian.
