#016 Wonder Woman! | Rosie Fiore

Loading player...

Actress, teacher, author - No longer an author in Waiting!

Meet Rosie Fiore (Author and most fabulous Gurlfrend)

Born in good old Joburg, Rosie Fiore left our sunny shores to follow a literary life in London some 21 years ago. Having studied drama and working as a writer in TV, theatre and comedy - pretty much anything you could write for, Rosie did! - the dream of being a Proper Author took hold.

Find out more about her books and her journey as Rosie takes us on her voyage, the ups and downs, and the joy of words.

#027 A Wild Food Revolutionist | Finding out about foraging with Gregory Henderson
