Martha Ashby, editorial director, signed a deal for world all-language rightswith Jody Flanagan at A3 Artists Agency. Mammy Banter: The Secret Life of an Uncool Mumwill be published in February 2022. Meeting regularly at Ludden beach, on the outskirts of Buncrana, the women have also benefited socially from the group. But most of all, she’s going to prove to herself that she can still be a mum, still work full time, and still be Beyoncé… Full of self-doubt, Tara decides it's time for a mammy makeover.

Who would send their kids out to a monster like that? But we did’: Parents of Coleraine abuse victim speak out But behind the skits lies a serious side to Serena Terry, who has drawn upon expert skills in digital marketing to start up her own digital marketing consultancy – using Mammy Banter videos as a case study to attract new clients. As a Mam of 3 children myself I can completely relate to how Serena feels although mine are very different in age, it sometimes feels like they are the same age as Serena’s children. We’ve been there as embarrassing parents to teenagers and the parents who get ‘Can I have a word please ? It’s about your son/ daughter’ conversations in the school yard. I think this is why I love reading her books and watching her videos so much as she’s entirely relatable to a ‘Normal parent’.
After the success of her Mammy Banter channel, Serena took the brave decision to leave her job as a chief operations officer at a Derry tech company, and she set up her own digital marketing consultancy, Catchy Co.

I wanted to put more time into making Mammy Banter content, but I also needed to pay my bills at the end of the month without selling my soul to the advertising gods," adds Serena, who decided not to monetise the content of her social media channel. Terry added: "Working with HarperFiction has been a dream come true for me. I have wanted to write a book since I was a young girlso getting the opportunity to do it now is a huge personal success for me. I get extreme joy from keeping people laughing through my comedy videosbut there’s only so much context you can give through short-form videos.
