Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

I’m not usually one for pimping projects I don’t believe in…so it’s a good thing that I totes stand behind what these dudes are trying to do. They also happen to be friends, but I wouldn’t tell you to check this out if it wasn’t worth your (very!) valuable time.

Mr. Dream, the new Brooklyn punk rock band (the IIVV), are working on their first 7” recording, and they have turned to Kickstarter for crowd sourced help. I think it’s a nifty scheme: Ask your friends and their friends for that $5 that they might spend on a latte/cigarette/awkward downtown foot rub, make music later.

Anyways, check ‘em out (and maybe pledge) here.
