Rebecca Westcott

Rebecca Westcott hails from Chester, her place of birth. Her journey into teaching led her to Exeter University, where she received her training as an educator. Her teaching career has taken her to a range of intriguing locations, one of the most notable being a Category C male prison. Interestingly, Rebecca's passion for writing began at the young age of eight when she started keeping a diary. Little did she know then that these diary entries would play a crucial role in shaping her future as a writer.

In her debut novel, "Dandelion Clocks," Rebecca cleverly incorporates some of the more amusing and cringe-worthy extracts from her childhood and teenage diaries as the diary entries of her characters. However, her most embarrassing memories remain safely tucked away unless she decides to draw inspiration from them for her next literary endeavor.

Currently, Rebecca continues to inspire young minds as a primary school teacher while residing in Dorset with her husband and three children. Her literary journey includes five books for children, including collaborative works like "Can You See Me?" and "Do You Know Me?" written alongside the talented 11-year-old, Libby Scott.
