Brought up in
Yorkshire and Derbyshire, Rosie studied English and Comparative
Literature at the University of Warwick, then went on to write a
D. Phil on `Dickens and the Gothic' for the University of
York. This grew into her first book, Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion.
From 1976 to 1988 she
taught at a number of universities including East Anglia, East London and
West of England, then moved to rural Somerset where she devoted herself to
writing and running workshops. The Women's Press published her first
collection of stories, The Eye of the Buddha, in 1990, while Harper
Collins published two works of her non-fiction in 1994: Frieda
Lawrence and Mothers Who Leave.
In 1998 Rosie taught creative writing at Nottingham Trent University and has since
tutored for the Open College of the Arts and for various colleges and
community groups, including Skyros, P.E.N. Vienna, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Bethesda Writers'
Center in Washington D.C. She has written for Resurgence Magazine and the literary
journal Tears in the Fence. |
