In 2019, Prior-Palmer published her first book, Rough Magic, recounting her experience in the Mongol Derby. The memoir was positively reviewed in publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Telegraph. Sarah Moss, writing in The Guardian, stated: 'It's the resistance to the obvious narratives that makes Rough Magic so appealing: the book undermines lazy women-in-the-wilderness tropes at every turn.'
