My name is Rachel Smalter Hall, and I’m a former public librarian turned Development Editor and Executive Producer.  Two of my top three loves include audiobooks and knitting, and my favorite song is Cold Hearted Snake as performed by Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese on season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in a family of seven that donned bathrobes and towels for our yearly theatrical Christmas Pageant. Since then I’ve lived in Vermont, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Rome, and now New York where I enjoy all the culture, art, and fascinating minds that this city has to offer.

Hop on over to “Editing Portfolio” to view books that that I’ve acquired, developed, and produced, and to “Select Writing” to see some of my published articles. If you would like to hire me as your editor, please visit me on Reedsy.
