Meet Rachel

Ever since she could remember, Rachel has always been a teller of stories—from cracking a laugh out of her family to pretending to be a wood elf under a hackberry tree in a Texas suburb. She writes nonfiction & is currently working on a fantasy series and a psychological thriller. As much as she loves telling her stories, she also enjoys getting to know other writers & helping them craft their own.

Thin alpine trees are in focus with the a green mountainside & blue skies in the background.

My Services

Genres that I primarily focus on are YA, fantasy & sci-fi, historical fiction, thriller, mystery, contemporary, nonfiction (memoirs/essay collections), & poetry
