BrogEn Murphy

After graduating with a degree in Zoology from the University of Cambridge, Brogen set about trying to figure out how best to save the world. After a (very) brief stint in climate activism, they spent fifteen years promoting clean technologies that help build a low-carbon future. They are currently on a nomadic adventure with their wife, searching for the perfect place to live.

When not writing Brogen can be found lost in nature, looking up for birds or down for mushrooms (and therefore often tripping over).

Wildlands is their first novel. It won the Children’s Wainwright Prize for Fiction in 2025 and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize.
