About Rachel

Rachel McClard grew up in the deep South in a strict Christian household. So strict, in fact, her mother was convinced Rachel was destined to marry a Baptist preacher.

She is a gay writer who tells stories about conflicted women who challenge the status quo and themes about survival, independence, and identity. Among other awards, she was named a Top 25 Writer to watch in 2022 by ISA, is a Stowe Story Narrative Lab 2021 Fellow, and recently completed work on an OWA to develop IP for a multi-season series.

Rachel is repped by AAO Entertainment and APA.
