About rachel
|
Rachel Leitch is a certified weird girl who writes young adult/new adult fantasy. Right now, she writes novels that walk the line between dark-ish fantasy and weird little cartoon. (Imagine reading Six of Crows while watching an Owl House episode.) But more importantly, she writes brave, empathetic stories of self-discovery. Brave in that they bend the genres and star unconventional heroines. Empathetic in that they make you feel seen and that you can return to them over and over again. They’re stories of coming into your own, and setting yourself free, and finding where you belong. Stories of being who God created you to be and knowing that you are seen and loved by Him. |
Rachel lives in northern Indiana with her family. During the school year, she tricks students into being bookish as an elementary paraprofessional. During the summer, she volunteers at an off-Broadway theater (no, not as an actress). In her (very limited) free time, she’s trying to fit all her reads on her shelf in a somewhat organized manner, consuming a level of chai that borders on hazardous, or nerding out over her fandom of the week.
Her influences include: Fawkes by Nadine Brandes, Ignite by Kara Swanson, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Arcane: League of Legends, and just about any vaguely comforting animated media she can get her hands on.
