A Northerner in denial, Rachel has perpetually placed herself anywhere but her native Manchester. She likes taking photographs, subtitles, travelling the world whenever her overdraft allows, getting night buses, staring at strangers on the tube, solo gallery visits and relishing being a walking cliche as a literature graduate who wants to be a writer. Current goals include finding the perfect cinema in London and mastering a Cockney accent to truly rid herself of those pesky Northern tendencies.
