Blogs

Blogs, articles, & portfolio writeups, mainly in fintech & design spaces. Injecting words with humour and soul is what I do.

Editing

I loathe typos and love oxford commas. Whether you have a bare-bones concept that needs fleshing out or a finished draft that needs polishing, I can help.

The Quirky

“Rats in the organ” historical transcription. Ghostwriting a submission report for the Regional Business Awards. SOP documentation for client gifts at Christmas time.
If you’ve got something outside the box, I want in.

I couldn’t be happier with Rachel’s work on my PocketSmith setup and ongoing maintenance. She is efficient and discreet, communicates clearly, takes the initiative, and has saved me dozens of hours by alerting me to potential issues before they could get out of control.
Brilliant work.

Having used Rachel’s transcription services for over six years, her work is consistent, with good communication as to timeframes (and her amusing side-notes brighten the long evenings of research.)
