YOUR ORGANIZATION IS DOING AMAZING THINGS. BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR CONTENT?
Good freelance writers zero in on what is most important, express it in a relatable way, and deliver consistently high-quality work. But it can be tough to find a good writer who also understands sustainability—from science to systems to policy—and can pare down complex concepts into compelling prose.
I CAN HELP.
I’m Rachel (she/her), a freelance writer and researcher who is hooked on exploring sustainable solutions to the challenges of our time. Over the years, I’ve gained deep subject matter expertise—in regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, conservation, net zero, circularity, energy efficiency, renewables, climate mitigation, e-mobility, sustainable supply chains, ESG, sustainable development, environmental justice, and more—to help sustainability-focused organizations share their ideas and stories with the world. More about me…
