A Northerner in denial, Rachel perpetually places herself anywhere but native Manchester, now leaving her down and out in London (not Paris). She likes words, taking photographs, subtitles, travelling the world whenever her overdraft allows, vintage book shops and solo gallery visits. She’s often found in dark rooms with strangers…cinemas, honest. She’s also Arts & Culture Editor of TLW.
