Rachel Neuburger Novelist and Playwright

Currently working on a semi-autobiographical titled God Save the Sad Girls, funded by Arts Council England. Most recently, she completed the commercial novel So Pinch Me Quick, which will be released in 2026.
As a playwright, her one-person show Nepenthe was produced in 2016 in London’s Women and War Festival. Subsequently, she received a 2021/2022 Fellowship Grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture for further research and development of the piece. Her one-person show, The Silencer, was produced in 2012 at the Pleasance in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, later presented in 2014 as part of New York’s Festival of the Offensive. Before shifting career, Rachel worked as a producer and development executive on over two dozen theatrical productions on Broadway and off-Broadway.
The former New Yorker moved to London in 2014 after deciding to focus on her writing. She lives between East London and rural East Sussex with her photographer husband, John, and Comet the Greyhound. Besides her artistic projects, she freelances as story consultant, ghostwriter (shh), and writing coach. On occasion, she does talks about Buddy Holly’s fateful 1959 Winter Dance Party Tour and Jack the Ripper.
She is passionately not a fan of writing about herself in the third person but has been told that it’s not an option to do otherwise. Please feel free to contact her, aka me, through the link below.
