Rachel Manwill

Editor and Writer in Boise, Idaho

Grammar nerd and avid book worm. News junkie. Former Washintonian and New Yorker. Always looking for the next great adventure.

Former Editorial Manager for Book of the Month, bringing compelling physical books to dedicated physical readers every single month.

Former Product Manager for PR Newswire, helping clients spread their message from Beijing to Sao Paulo. Former professional editor of press releases at PRN, current freelance editor of pretty much everything else.

Readathon owner of #24in48. (Next one is July 22-23, 2017! Sign up now.) Social media adventurer. Unofficially masterful at sales, marketing, branding, SEO, blogging, and PR.

I created the insanely popular Read Harder Challenge (seriously, Ann Patchett thinks its awesome) and write the long-running Book Fetish column for Book Riot.

As a talented salesperson, book recommender, and editor who wants nothing more than to put good books into people's hands, I'm seeking a role in a publishing where I can contribute to the life of a book and its author.

(I can also balance a spoon on my nose, parallel park, and make the perfect pie crust.)
