Born into the travelling community and evolving into an androgynous Buddhist, Bobbie Zopa was born in Wales and spent her formative years in Stratford Upon Avon, attending William Shakespeare’s alma mater, Edward VI School. A career as a journalist saw Bobbie working for national newspapers, magazines and broadcasting before a return to university brought an honours degree and an MA in creative writing.
Drama and comedy commissions from the BBC and ITV followed with the BBC Radio series, ‘Kerr in the Community’ being described by producer Gareth Gwenlan as one of the all-time funniest he had been involved with. Bobbies’s 2016 stage play, Trevor’s House, was a recipient of the London Playmakers Play of the Year Award while the children’s novel, Northwind earned national media praise and was endorsed by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
Bobbie’s current novel, The End of the Sky is available from bookshops. Bobbie lives in South Wales with her wife and a small menagerie of wonky animals.
