Women Writers, This Is for You

MORE WOMEN NEED TO PUBLISH THEIR WORK.

I see this all the time. I meet a writer. Or I reconnect with a woman I’ve known for years, someone who has been secretly writing, pouring her soul onto the page, but hasn’t told anyone about her work.

She is strong. She is powerful. She has her sh*t together in so many areas of her life: career, family, friendships. From the outside, you’d never guess that inside her heart, there’s a quiet yearning, a passion she’s been tucking away.

And yet, when it comes to her writing, there’s hesitation. A fear. She craves success, yearns for her words to be heard, but doesn’t know how to open her heart to her work again. She’s unsure how to trust her voice after years of silence.

Somewhere along the way, she got scared.

She started believing she wasn’t good enough.

She felt the sting of rejection.

So much so that she started rejecting herself.

She shut down her voice, convinced it wasn’t worth hearing.

She bit her tongue, put her dreams to the side, and told herself she’d come back to them “someday.”

But someday didn’t come.

It won't come, unless you choose it.

I know this story all too well because I’ve lived it.

I was that woman.

I hid my talents and hesitated to share my writing because of fear.

Maybe you, the one reading this, are that woman too.

And you know what I think?

You’ve been hiding too long.

Your voice matters. Your story matters. There are people out there who need to hear your words. They’re waiting for you to show up, to step into your courage, and to let your creativity flow.

It’s time to bring your voice into the world.

Let’s talk about your writing, your dreams, and how to reignite the fire that’s been quietly burning inside you all this time.

2025 is the year you get your voice back.

Hey, I’m Rachel!

I’m a writer, editor, memoir artist, poet, and champion for independent authors. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, a certified yoga teacher, an energy healer, and an ultramarathon runner turned daily walker, too.

I empower individuals to release resistance, harness perfectionism, and build unstoppable momentum in their wellness and creative pursuits.

I love helping first-time authors share inspiring stories and launch bestselling books. I also love creating unforgettable, on-brand copy for wellness brands and strategic marketing campaigns for small businesses.

I believe in creating impactful marketing with integrity. I support writers in learning how to put themselves out there online, without feeling overwhelmed or guilty about it.

I grew up in northern California and now live in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In addition to my writing endeavors, I also teach and practice yoga. I’m the founder of Alive in the Fire.

I incorporate a variety of holistic practices into my routine, including yoga, contrast therapy, strength training, energy work, meditation, hiking, and walking.

Storytelling with strength and sensitivity

I'm here to help you bridge the gap between your heart and your words.

To embrace the healing process that is innate with any writing project. Discovering the power of your voice is an emotional journey— and one you shouldn’t have to face alone.

I can help you discover how self-care and creativity go hand-in-hand.

I’m here to help you write boldly and heal deeply.

Surface-level, boring @$$ writing doesn’t interest me. And there’s more AI-generated writing in the world than ever. In order to stand out, the world needs to see the real you, the emotional and human you, and I can help you find the words to do just that.

I'm all about diving deep, finding the soul in your story, and unleashing your authentic voice. Let's ditch the mundane and craft something extraordinary together.

Fun Facts About My Journey As a Writer:

In third grade, I won the Placer County Spelling Bee. 😆🏆🐝

Senior year of high school, I was voted “most likely to publish a book” by my peers.

I started college as a journalism major, but ended up switching to a degree in English when I got into the creative writing program (with a focus in poetry).

Ages 10-32: I dreamt of writing books, but had no idea where to start.

Ages 32-36: I've published 8 books in 4 years.

Over the last decade, I’ve helped over 100 authors on their non-fiction, poetry, and memoir manuscripts. I believe the book writing, editing, and publishing process is about more than just authoring a book— it’s about authoring a new version of you.

I also specialize in supporting small business owners and wellness brands with their website, email, and social copy through strategic campaigns.

I’m obsessed with the intersection of wellness and creativity, and helping you feel confident in your unique voice.

What makes me unique as a writing coach and mentor?

Versatility & Well-Roundedness

I’ve worked with authors from all backgrounds and experience levels. I’m equally as comfortable with a 400-page manuscript as I am with 250 characters of ad copy. Long form or short form, and however fast you want to work, I’m all ears.

Unwavering Support

I care— a lot. I’m here to champion your success and help you cross the finish line with your project. I will help you discover your voice and unleash your full potential. Your story deserves to be told with courage and boldness.

Open-minded and Open-hearted

People tell me all the time that they’re amazed at how open to feedback I am. Writing and editing are my soul’s purpose, my higher calling in this lifetime. I trust the process and don’t cling tightly to first drafts.
