Rebecca Lewis Smith

Rebecca grew up splitting time between the UK, Massachusetts and Norway. She studied Drama at the University of East Anglia, and settled in Norfolk, where she now writes, looking out over flat fields and immense skies. 

Rebecca co-founded a digital marketing agency in her twenties, boot-strapping it from a corner of her bedroom and growing it to a thriving, well-regarded local employer. As she was able to step away from the day-to-day running of the business, she delighted in rediscovering her creative core, and her joy in writing. She completed a fiction course with the National Centre for Writing in 2021, and in 2022 gained a place on the selective Curtis Brown Creative six-month novel writing course.

Her debut novel, Bombshell, follows Kate, an ordinary woman who begins to suspect she’s been used as an alibi by her childhood best friend, famed movie star Lena Fontaine, when the murder of Lena’s much older male co-star and rumoured lover explodes onto the news. Bombshell will be going on submission soon.
