Hello!
Hi friends! I’m Rachel.
You might know me as the Deputy Editor at HelloGiggles, where I lead the editorial team, or from my previous gig at Bustle interviewing A-list celebrities and visiting Marvel movie sets. Or maybe you’re a fan of my freelance work, like my New York Times trendpiece on pickleball or my Glamour stories on ADHD, or perhaps you took one of the the classes I’ve taught with Gotham Writers Workshop. Or, maybe you’re still mad at me about that time I called Tim Burton out for being racist and sending me weekly threats on Twitter just isn’t cutting it anymore. Hey, whatever got you here!
If you know me (or my Twitter, or my Instagram) then you know I love to talk. A lot. And I also love sharing the things I’m into, whether that’s a must-read book or a Taylor Swift conspiracy theory (#Kaylor is real, y’all), with anyone who’ll listen. So each week, I’ll be telling you here what I’m obsessed with and why, in the hopes that you’ll join me in my reading/watching/listening journey. Cool cool cool cool cool.
If you don’t only want pop culture recs and talks, though, don’t worry—I’ll also be sharing updates on my novel-to-be (fans of Prep and Summer Sisters, this is for you!), writing/ editing advice for freelancers, and much more. And yes, “more” might sometimes mean photos of my dog, Ellie, who is a 1 1/2-year-old potcake (real breed, look it up!) and Supremely Cute, if I do say so myself.
