Rachel represents children's fiction and non-fiction up to YA and crossover, though she is not currently accepting picturebook submissions.

Before joining The Blair Partnership, she served as editorial director at Macmillan Children's Books, working with authors like Frances Hardinge, Chris Riddell, and Tomi Adeyemi.

She seeks ambitious storytelling, bold structural approaches, and fresh genre takes, with a particular interest in submissions from author/illustrators and underrepresented communities.
