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 back. Welcome back me.

I now have a proper URL (thereby making me an official, breathing, vote-counts person as far as the void of the web is concerned), and a new look, but this is still essentially the same action formerly known as rach.tumblr.com.

Over the last months, I contemplated starting completely anew—as I am with another online project, soon to be launched into the world—but I realized that was an impulse held over from my tween days, when I would crack open new composition notebooks every week, pour into them stories of angst and lust and dogbody work, and then abandon them under my boxspring. Not that this domain has ever held any kind of personal details or grotesquerie, but I was feeling it might be time to move on from a space that I have now occupied for (a record for me) two years.

But not yet. There’s time before the virtual boxsprings. So I’m back to posting/hanging out here for now. Let’s party.
