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.

Psyched alert: For most of the next week, I’ll be hanging out and supervising the future Kathleens and Kims of the world at the Willie May Rock Camp for Girls, which is just about one of the most empowering organizations going for the little ones in this borough or any place. You can read Ada Calhoun’s quite comprehensive take on the whole thing over at the venerable 90s Woman, or get involved in whatever way you see fit at the official site. At the end of all this, there will be a fully-loaded, roadie-manned rock show at a Brooklyn mainstay, with lots of sparkles and feathers and beaming parents. Here goes.
