ABOUT ME

Hi y'all! I'm Rachel, a 22-year-old writer from Toronto. I've been writing for nine years and hold a BA in creative writing (with specialties in fiction and poetry). On my channel, rachel writes, I document my writing journey and try to post once a week (usually on Fridays).

DISCLAIMER:
I'm only one writer, and approach each video from my experience/expertise. While I make content like writing advice videos on this channel, it's important to me that my viewers ultimately write in the way that best resonates with them. :)
