ⓘ About Rachel Seiffert

Rachel Seiffert is a bestselling literary fiction author from London that is best known for her bestselling fiction novel “The Dark Room.” This work would get her shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and was also adapted into Lore the feature film. In 2003, Granta magazine named Rachel one of the Best Young British Novelists. She would also receive the American Academy of Arts and Letters EM Forster Award. When she is not writing her novels or teaching, she can often be found knitting, gardening, or walking her dog. She has said that knitting particularly helps her with the thinking process for her novels. One huge irony about Rachel Seiffert is that she never thought she would become an author.
