bio
Rosie O’Neill is the author of commercial crime fiction with light fantasy elements, mixing the magic with the everyday.
Obsessed with superpowers, Rosie writes novels, novellas and short stories exploring the many ways being super can ruin your life.
She lives and works in rural Nottinghamshire, and her only superpower is the ability to disappear grab bags of chocolate buttons at will.
My all time favourite is The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. More recently I'm also enjoying rom coms by Beth O'Leary and Alexis Hall and thrillers by Gillian McAllister.
A tie between The Terminator and Rogue One. Honourable mention for The Old Guard (Netflix) for a slightly newer one that I love.
Watching tv! It's a key part of refilling my creative well; I'll watch anything with complex characters and a sharp script.
I'm also a recovering craft dabbler and former Etsy shop owner (embroidery, silversmithing, screen printing, rag-rug making, lampshades, cushions - you name it, I've probably tried to make it!).
Finish your work, seek feedback to get better, and don't be afraid to experiment - try out different forms (fiction, copy, screenplay, poetry etc).
