Rebecca Watson is the author of little scratch, which was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize and the Desmond Elliott Prize. The novel was adapted into an acclaimed play with sell-out runs at Hampstead Theatre (2021) and New Diorama (2023). Watson was chosen as one of the Observer's 10 best debut novelists of 2021 and as a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice.

Her non-fiction has been published widely, including in the Observer, the TLS, Granta and British Vogue. In 2022, she presented a documentary for Radio 4 — where her short stories have also aired. Her second novel, I Will Crash, will be published this year.
