As an introverted bookwyrm, stories have always been an essential part of my life. As a kid, my days were spent reading for so long that my eyes went blurry when I tried to decipher the clock. Which is probably why I need glasses.
My favorite things to do are reading until I can’t remember my own name, sitting on a bench in the shade on a sunny day, and stuffing myself with chocolate. I’m so into stories that my imagination is continuously in overdrive. I have a BA in English from Pacific Lutheran University with a concentration in Publishing and Printing Arts, and I’m a 2022 graduate of the Rainier Writing Workshop (RWW).
As a former freelance editor, I now keep my mind sharp puzzling together plots and analyzing my favorite stories. If you’re interested in my past publications as an entertainment writer, check out my articles with The Daily Fandom, where I had a super fun time as a managing editor, and Collider, as a contributing writer.
If we’re talking current work, I’m the archive project coordinator with Fireweed: Poetry of Oregon.
You can keep track of my writing adventures by following me on Instagram @rachelsandell_writer and Twitter @rachelsandell_ and you can check out my first short story, “The Nightmare” on Amazon. My other published stories include “The Boy with Black Eyes” (The Magic Within: A Spellbinding Anthology, 2019), “A Weighted Whisper” (SORTES, Issue 3, 2020), and “Tower to Foundation” (Night Picnic Press, 2022). My newest short story, “Spectacle,” appears in Leading Edge, Issue 80 (2022).
