Frankie Murrey worked in the book retail sector for many years before becoming the coordinator of Open Book Festival. In 2015, her work was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. She resigned from Open Book Festival at the end of 2019, but has since returned to a space she missed intensely. In 2023, she published her debut collection, Everyone Dies (Karavan Press), which won the HSS Award for Best Emerging Writer in the fiction category.
