Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a professional editor and an author. I've worked on 200+ books for both publishing houses and independent writers. My novels have been translated into eight languages.

As someone who has been in the industry a long time, I love nothing more then sharing advice on all things writing and publishing.

New posts are added regularly. Enjoy!

Love a peaceful day browsing books and grabbing coffee, so I decided to vlog it because I love watching cosy little reels and wanted to make one! ☕️📖 I picked up The Dark Mirror by Samantha Shannon (The Bone Season series is one of my absolute favourites!) and Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Have you all been reading anything good this weekend? 💕📖

Spilling the tea on getting published and what might happen next… ☕ I don't think we writers talk about these things enough, especially the first one, which was a big shock to me after I got published!

The positive part is, you learn to deal with these swings and roundabouts over time. And you become a stronger person – and writer – because of it. ❤️

Sooo… in massively exciting news, I bought a house for me and my husband – and it was only made possible because of my books. Every failed manuscript, every year of rejection, all the drafts, the millions of words, and the cat café stories that finally got noticed by publishers around the world… This is what it all turned into. I'm so, so grateful. And a little stunned this even happened. Looking forward to making many memories here – and writing and editing books from my new office! 🏡

I went to IKEA recently, and someone had placed this little stuffed cat inside a basket-house. Not sure if the basket is actually meant to be a house or just an oddly shaped decoration, but it's the perfect shape to house a stuffed animal, and it made me smile. 🐱

The wider world feels very heavy right now (an understatement if ever there was one), but small moments of human fun, creativity, and whimsy like this one make me smile. Hope you've all been managing to find small moments of joy if you can. 🤍

Now I'm off back to my editing cave where I'll be working on some excellent client books. 📝
