Since 2012 began, readers have downloaded over 65,000 copies of Rosen's books. So far two titles have broken into Amazon's Top 100 Kindle Books chart and Lipstick and Knickers led the fictional comedy chart for almost three weeks.
Rosen was born in Cornwall, during the Chinese year of the sheep. She studied at Oxford before moving back to the West Country.
She now lives on the south coast of Devon with two imaginary cats, fantasising about getting a real one.

Praise for Rosen Trevithick
"A very short story which made a very big impact, I actually found myself at one point holding my breath."
- A. Coburn (Amazon top 500 reviewer)
"It is that famous sarcastic, British wit that I could eat all day. London, the Doggy and Me is simply another winner from her."
- N. Blackburn (Amazon reviewer)
"Rosen has a flair for snappy dialogue, detailed description and fast plot movement. I'll definitely be reading more of her work."
- David Wailing (author)
"It's everything new writing should be. I hope to see more from her."
- Oxford Uncovered
"...Engrossing..."
- Cherwell
"I absolutley loved Straight Out of University. It was laugh out loud funny through a lot of it. It drew me in rapidly and even had me on tenterhooks to see if characters Sophie and John would work out together.
- S. Hitchens
"A page-turner, it kept me interested, and I ended up reading Footprints in one sitting. I found it very thought provoking, and one of those stories that you continue to ponder for some time after."
- T. Steele (Amazon reviewer)
"I absolutely love it when I stumble upon an author totally by accident. To me it is a really special treat. Rosen is an excellent writer."
- N. Blackburn (Goodreads)
"Rosen is actually in a league of her own for challenging stereotypes without the reader even realising it (until it is too late). Well recommended."
- Little Kate (Amazon)
"On the Rocks punched me in the gut in the same manner as Kathleen's Arthur's Story: A Love Story (and anyone knows how I go on about that one!)"
- N. Blackburn (Goodreads)
"The Other Daughter is a deeply moving and emotional read."
- D. Jones (Amazon #1 reviewer)
"Straight Out of University is quite different from most of Rosen's other books, but that just emphasises how good a writer Rosen is."
- Joo (KUF)
"I wish I could give The Selfish Act more than 5 stars. Again, Trevithick has shown herself as a master of the short story."
I'm delighted that Margaret James, novelist, journalist and teacher of creative writing, has decided to feature Seesaw as April's book of the month! With Seesaw, my short story collection, coming out in paperback this month, the timing couldn't be better.
David Wailing, author of Fake Kate and Bang (Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin) will be giving away free copies of his books throughout the week. Here's an interview about his work so far, and latest project.
I was drawn to Margaret James's books by their beautiful covers. Like me, she is a Devon-based writer who has spent some time living in Oxford. I'm delighted to have had the chance to interview her for this blog.
A number of authors have asked me to let them know how I get on with FeedARead, the UK Arts Council funded self-publishers. Well, so far it's going so well, that if I was offered the backing of a traditional publisher, I'd have to think very seriously about whether I'd be any better off staying with print-on-demand.
My proof copy of Seesaw has arrived! It's glossy and shiny. The pages feel crispy and make satisfying flicking noises when I turn them. Here are some publicity photos, for the upcoming launch.
When I found out that David was reading my novel, Straight Out of University, I decided to get started on Fake Kate because I enjoyed the symmetry. However, we made a pact not to review each other's books until we had both finished reading.
