Award-Winning
Children's Writer

Works In Progress
My contemporary mystery novel for 9 – 12-year-olds won the Hachette Children’s Novel Award 2023 at the Northern Writers’ Awards.
My non-fiction proposal is for children aged 9 – 12, and tells the story of key figures in the history of technology.
My latest writing project is a diary-based novel for early teens, because I love reading diaries like Adrian Mole, Wimpy Kid and Bridget Jones.
About Me
My name is Rachel and I’m a writer based in the North East of England. I’m an award-winning children’s novelist, and my writing is supported by Arts Council England.
I’ve always loved books, and after years of doing bookish things in and out of work, I decided to have another go at writing some of my own. I like writing contemporary stories for children and young people, and non-fiction which explores technology and culture.
If you'd like me to run a workshop, speak at an event, or collaborate on a creative writing project, I’d love to hear from you.
