Overview
Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm a literary agent, a publishing consultant, a book marketer and avid reader. I spent the first 10+ years of my career working at advertising agencies in New York followed by 5 years as the Executive Director of Digital & Social marketing at Penguin Random House. In 2018 I ventured off to work for myself and the rest is history. I love helping authors find their readers and positioning books for success.
I offer marketing consultations, query reviews (and drafting), book proposal support/creation, copy support (for descriptions and marketing needs), and the development of custom marketing strategies and plans.
