Feedback from Rachel’s online workshop participants:

“I loved that the class wasn't too regimented, and that you took time to really tailor information to each person, that feedback is invaluable.”

-Sydney, October 2022

“The workshop was very valuable as someone who is just starting to dip my toes into the water of journalism once again. It was insightful and your feedback was productive and encouraging. I feel much more confident as I approach pitching! Especially keeping in mind what you said during the session: ‘When you are writing pitches, imposter syndrome does not exist. You are a writer. This is what you do.’ It was just what I needed to put a little fire in my belly.”

-Lindsay, Jan 2024
