Rosie Craig went to Edinburgh University where she got an MA in English.  She then worked for the publishers Methuen in London and Oliver & Boyd in Edinburgh.

Her adaptation of the novella by J.M.

Her adaptations and original drama formed a major part of Violet Jacob’s Voices of Angus, which ran very successfully at The House of Dun, near Montrose, in November 2006.

She was most recently involved in The Mythmakers about the unexpected friendship between Scott of the Antarctic and J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, which has recently run in London's West End and in the New York Fringe Festival. She has adapted this play with Richard White as a radio production. She is a partner with Richard White in Celtic Circle.
