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.

“They tried to kill us, they couldn’t do it. Now let’s eat.” - My grandfather.

Enjoy your Passover, wherever/whoever you are—for me, it’s about becoming resilient, even in times of great uncertainty, and remembering to put up with everyday bitterness (it’s ok to have hope, who knew?)—which, religious or not, is kind of a rad thing to have a whole day about.
