Rose Edwards grew up in Luxembourg, and learned her love of languages, history, and writing from her parents. Although she was terrible at spelling she did not let that stop her: she wrote her first story (a Redwall fanfic about a warrior squirrel) at age 9, and misspelled “squirrel" throughout. Undeterred, she followed up with a Star Wars fanfic, in which she misspelled “rebels.”
After completing a PGCE in London, Rose decided not to become an English teacher. Instead she enrolled in the Creative Writing MSt at Oxford and wrote The Harm Tree (with acceptably artistic misspellings), which was published by UCLAN Publishing in July 2019. She is currently working on the sequel.
Rose writes young adult fantasy that focuses on coming of age stories and how we survive our pasts. She has a soft spot for complex female and LGBT characters. She lives in Luxembourg and works in the non-profit sector as well as writing.
