Hello, everyone! I'm Rachel and I hail from Southern Alberta, Canada. I'm a single mom of two teens, so my life is pretty much a horror movie (Just kidding, they're pretty great!).
I love writing! I've written novels in the past and I'm also a developmental editor, but I was looking for a new challenge, so I turned to writing scripts. It turns out they are VERY different, but I love learning and growing, so this is a challenge I'm excited to tackle.
Anyway, I am really excited to connect with others in this amazing industry. Nice to meet you all and I'm looking forward to many positive interactions!

I'm working on a dystopian trilogy (because I'm a chronic over-writer) about a government that uses tech to alter the memories of its people to keep them under control. There is a Resistance group looking to restore the people's memories to give them back their own histories and identities. I am getting close to finishing the first in the series. It's been quite the learning process.

Hey there. Greetings from Connecticut USA. Don’t mind me I’m treating ideas like the ingredients to a gourmet meal ( screenplay). Feeling indecisive on how to get started on my script.

Hello Rachel! It’s great to meet you! Southern Alberta sounds beautiful, and it’s awesome that you’re diving into scriptwriting. Transitioning from novels and editing to scripts is a big step, but your passion for learning will definitely help you thrive. I’m sure your creativity and experience will make your scripts stand out.
You're welcome, Raymond Cochran.

Welcome, Rachel! I'm also Canadian, from Regina. Nice to see more Canadians here! :) I write mostly lyrics and comedy material. I do stand-up at open mic nights. Your dystopian trilogy sounds interesting!
