Vocation

British novelist and journalist, author of "Biche" (2000) and three other novels. "Biche" is an account of her days trying to find sex in Paris which, until that time, had been seen as the traditional preserve of male expats such as Ernest Hemingway and Henry Miller. The Times described Theobald as "One of London’s most celebrated literary lesbians" in 2009, while the the Daily Mail dubbed her a "notorious lesbian author" in 2007. As a journalist she writes for a wide variety of publications. While Theobald worked as the social editor of UK Harper’s Bazaar (2004-2008), she was linked with the flamboyant fashion editor, Isabella Blow when she briefly dated her estranged husband, Detmar Blow. The story and atmosphere of that time was played out in Theobald’s fourth novel, "A Partial Indulgence." When she began to date novelist Jake Arnott in 2005, their apparent bisexuality caused a furore in the press because they had been assumed to be respectively lesbian and gay.
