Rebecca Levene

Rebecca Levene is a British author and editor, best known for editing Virgin's New Adventures series of original fiction "Doctor Who" novels.

Biography

Levene was educated at Clare College, Cambridge. After graduating, she worked for a Labour MP. Levene then applied for a job at Virgin and began as an assistant to Peter Darvill-Evans working on the New Adventures. She later took over as editor of Virgin's "Doctor Who" lines, a period seen by many as a high point for "Doctor Who" prose fiction. She also worked on other projects at Virgin, including their Judge Dredd series and their gay erotica line, Idol.

Along with other Virgin alumni including Gareth Roberts and Lance Parkin, she became a storyliner for television soap "Emmerdale" for a period. Subsequent TV work included on Sky One's "Is Harry on the Boat?" She has also continued to work with Roberts on comedy projects for TV since, including the comedy sketch show "Swinging".

Her first novel, the post-"Doctor Who" New Adventure "Where Angels Fear", was co-written with Simon Winstone, her deputy and successor on the New Adventures. More recently, she has written for publisher Black Flame, including a "Strontium Dog" novel "Bad Timing" and a "Final Destination" novel "End of the Line". She has written for Big Finish, including "Doctor Who" short stories and a Tomorrow People audio drama. An eighth Doctor novel for the BBC, "Freaks", was announced, but Levene pulled out of the project. She has also written for "Doctor Who Magazine" and for newspapers.

Levene has often written under pseudonyms, including as Evan Pritchard for BBC Books' "Doctor Who" short story collection "Short Trips", and as Carla Marks for SFX.
