H Raven Rose, MFA, PhD, is an award-winning writer/director, author, and creativity researcher; her creativity research examines writing flow, writer's block(s), and creativity with a particular emphasis on understanding reclaiming voice for the cisgender, heterosexual female psyche with frameworks of human evolution, childhood development, and depth psychology and related concepts. Rose’s additional studies focus on voice development, critical issues of attachment and identity, and C-PTSD, in the context of the feminine literary individuation process. A writer-director, her poem painted in film--Sacred Birthday, Sacred Wales - Pen-Blwydd yn Gysegredig, Cymru Sanctaidd--won the 2021 Wales International Film Festival Illustrated Poem Jury's Award Special Prize.

Her play Dark Eros, adapted into a suspense novelette of the same title, was staged as readings in Los Angeles, one of which starred Jessica Biel in the lead role as Leila. An excerpt of the play version of Sleep Disturbance was staged as readings at the Taliesin Create Space.
