Merphy Napier

Merphy Napier is a female American YouTuber from the United States who makes book reviews, rants, discussions, theories, news, and top 10 lists. She primarily focuses on the fantasy and science fiction genres. In 2021 she also got into manga on her channel, and started her journey with One Piece. 
Some time after starting this, Merphy also started One Piece Fridays on her channel, where she uploads some kind of One Piece related video every single Friday, whether it's an arc review, a discussion, a top 10 list, or anything else. Aside from her YouTube channel, she also makes money by narrating audiobooks and critiquing aspiring author's manuscripts. She is also a writer herself, but only as a hobby. 
For several years, one of Merphy's most popular series on her channel was Dear Authors, where she read comments left by her viewers on things that they feel authors should do and shouldn't do. However, in 2021 she ended that series, and later the same year she started a series to replace it called Inside Publishing, where she takes a deep dive into the publishing industry, doing interviews and everything, giving aspiring authors insight on what the publishing industry is really like. 
Merphy created her channel in 2012, but didn't start making videos until 2016. She's good friends on YouTube with Daniel Greene, and has done numerous collaborations with him, on both of their channels. 
==2023 Channel Realignment==
In 2022, Merphy launched a second channel, then called Merphy Napier Reviews, where she focused on vlog-style reviews of books and manga as she read them. In late November 2023, Merphy announced a restructuring of her channels: given that her main channel had seen the most growth from manga content and her Reviews channel from book content, and she did not want to mix the two target audiences, she decided to rebrand her main channel as Merphy Napier | Manga, and her Reviews channel as Merphy Napier | Books. From then on, both function as her "main" channels, each with a focus on a different medium.
==Personal Life==
Merphy is married to photographer Korey Napier, who occasionally makes appearances in her videos and sometimes edits them. The two of them have a son together, and also have an adopted daughter. Merphy would sometimes discuss the process of this adoption in her videos.
