Rosemary Rowe’s non-fiction output covers two distinct areas: creative writing and English language teaching. Teaching Tenses (2002) is an ELT textbook from her earlier career in education, while Writing a Novel (2003) and Masterclass: Writing Crime Fiction (2014) draw on her decades of experience as a published novelist.

The writing guides are particularly informed by her work on the Libertus Mystery of Roman Britain series. Masterclass: Writing Crime Fiction addresses the specific challenges of the genre, including plotting whodunits, building suspense, and creating believable historical settings.
