My name is Rachel. If you are taking the time to read this, I want to say a big “thank you,” to you! As an aspiring author, every person who is accessing this website and reading my work is appreciated. A little about me is that I have a bachelor's degree in publishing & literature from Hofstra University, with minors in world literature, world religions, and Italian & Italian American studies. I also hold a master’s degree in library and information science from the University at Buffalo. As someone who is passionate about research, literature, and learning new things—especially regarding the topic of religion, these degrees encompass all of these interests. These areas also heavily influence the stories and books that I am in the process of writing. My goal for this website is to share my writing journey as I work towards getting published, share my thoughts and opinions on various topics, and encourage discussions about literature and life to bring about stronger connections with one another.
