Eve Smith writes speculative fiction, mainly about the things that scare her.
In this world of questionable facts and news, she believes storytelling can be a powerful way to engage people in real life issues.
Longlisted for the Guardian's Not the Booker Prize and described by British bookshop chain Waterstones as: "an exciting new voice in crime fiction", Eve's debut novel The Waiting Rooms, set during an antibiotic crisis, was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize First Novel Award and selected as a Guardian book of the month.
