About Me

Hello to you and thanks for taking time to check out my writing! 

My name is Rebecca Petch and I am, to my very core, a lover of words. 

What began as an obsession with reading all of Jacqueline Wilson's bibliography grew into an irrevocable love of writing. 

Whether it's fiction, articles or scribbling away in my diary at 2am during an anxiety spiral, I will always be writing...or at least thinking about writing. 

​

It seems fitting that my first foray into the art of the written word was during a Year 8 English lesson (I know it's cliché, but bear with me): the class had been tasked with re-writing a chapter from Jekyll and Hyde and whilst everybody else handed in a page at the end of the lesson, I took my exercise book home with me with the intention to write more. I spent the whole weekend frantically scribbling in the book and proudly presented my 9 page ("front and back!" - any Friends fans in? ) epistle to my teacher. 

​

I spend less time rewriting gruesome murder scenes from Jekyll and Hyde these days and far more time focusing mostly on various challenges women face in society today, I hope with a humorous touch. 

Happy reading!
