Holly Rose
Holly Rose is a novelist and creative practitioner specialising in contemporary romance, with a particular focus on sports romance inspired by her long-standing interest in Formula One.

With over ten years of writing experience, Holly holds an MA in Writing for Children from the University of Winchester. Throughout her career, she has explored a wide range of genres and forms, developing her voice through experimentation, rigorous revision, and a deep engagement with the craft of storytelling. Alongside her own writing practice, Holly has extensive experience within literary and creative communities. She has volunteered with the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and worked with The Writers’ Weekend, supporting writers through critique groups, conferences, workshops, and live events. These roles have shaped her commitment to fostering creative spaces that are practical, supportive, and encouraging for writers at every stage of their development.
Your host
New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery. After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978. Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
