Rebecca Anderson

Rebecca Anderson is a thirty-year-old young adult fiction writer living in Hemel Hempstead with her partner. She is a graphic designer and practising counsellor, with too many creative hobbies to list. Her writing explores sex and mental health, which she tackles with honesty and humour. By keeping the curtain up during moments of vulnerability, she hopes to empower and validate those who feel alienated by heavily romanticised accounts of sex – especially teenagers who are beginning to learn about consent and what a healthy, intimate relationship looks like. Her first novel for young adults, My Sex Life and Other Things That Don’t Exist will be published by Scholastic in 2024.
