Fíona Scarlett is an Irish writer. She has had two novels published: Boys Don’t Cry (2021) and May All Your Skies Be Blue (2025).
From Dublin, Scarlett went to Coolmine Community School.[1][2]
She was often in the library on a Saturday, reading books by Agatha Christie and Stephen King.[1] Other favourite writers include Maeve Binchy, Marian Keyes and Paul Murray.[1][2] After she married him and began having children, and when they had some time away from the children at a wedding, she told her husband Dermot, a musician, that she wanted to become a writer.[1]
With her husband’s approval, Scarlett looked up writing courses on the Internet.[1] She decided to do a distance education course that suited her family.[1] She continued to look after her children whilst she completed the course.[1] Towards the end of the course, Scarlett began an early draft of what was to be her debut novel.[1] She got the idea when she was scrolling through Twitter in February 2018.[3]
