Stephanie Theobald (born 29 August 1966) is a British novelist and broadcaster, author of Biche and three other novels.
The Times described her as “One of London’s most celebrated literary lesbians.” In a Varsity 2011 interview with Theobald the paper described her as “No ordinary female writer.”She has been the subject of controversy – punk designer Vivienne Westwood is a vociferous anti-fan of Theobald's work.
At a London society party in 2009 she approached her to announce that she ‘hated’ Theobald's novels adding that A Partial Indulgence was “Like vomit coming at you off the page.”
