About me.

A neurodivergent woman sitting at a desk, smiling, with her face resting in one hand. There is an open notebook, a pen, and grammar book before her. She wears a yellow floral top in a bright, well-lit room with a potted plant in the background.

I’m Rachel (she/her), the AuDHD editor behind Authentic Voice Editorial. I provide editorial services that celebrate and affirm unique neurodivergent voices.

I support writers and creatives of all identities in expressing their authentic selves and sharing their passions with the world.

When you work with me, you receive:

  • the safe, queer-affirming, neuro-affirming space you need to be vulnerable about your writing;

  • a feedback approach that is tailored to you, to meet your individual communication and processing needs;

  • feedback that is communicated clearly, directly, and with kindness, with an eye to collaboration, conversation, and respect;

  • if desired, someone who can help you to build awareness of your writing style by flagging patterns in language, usage, and structure;

  • the benefit of my professional training and experience, and 35+ years of hyperlexia and reading/writing as a special interest.

Whatever form your passion takes, I ensure that your message is communicated in your authentic voice so that you can share yourself with confidence.
