England, and holds a degree in English and Creative Writing. She’s

She is an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. Rachel also writes her own fiction, and holds a degree in English and Creative Writing.

Rachel grew up playing video games like the Final Fantasy series, and devouring any book she could get her hands on. She is the author of The Darkest Curse, the first book in the Nethervale series of fairytale retellings, and loves writing fantasy stories with a dash of romance.

When she’s not writing or editing, she’s spending time with her husband and their cats, playing video games, or posting too much on Instagram.
