Hi! I’m Rosie, I’m a writer based in East London. I grew up in Gloucestershire, South West England, and I went to Cambridge University where I studied English literature.

I started writing my first novel, What Red Was, in 2017. The book was published in 2019 by Harvill Secker to critical acclaim and translated into six languages. I was listed as an Observer Hottest-Tipped Debut Novelist of 2019 and an Elle One to Watch. Harvill Secker published my second novel, The Orange Room, in July 2024, and will be releasing my third book, a memoir, Where the World Begins, in March 2027.

I have a PhD in Creative Writing from King’s College London, where I have also lectured in Creative Writing. Alongside my writing and research, I work as a private tutor and mentor.
