Hello! I'm Rachel
I'm a public relations coordinator. I majored in English and Communications from Concordia University, NE, and have since edited fully published books as a freelancer and placed countless bylined articles in the legal field. I read anything I can get my hands on, and my dream is to be involved in the creation of the next classic novel.
