RACHELLE ROBINETT
writes.
It started with a purple patent journal that she bought at a third-grade book fair and then printed in diligently while hidden under her covers, or behind the barn.
She grew up on a farm.
Every day after school she collected eggs from the chicken coop and her horse’s name was Misty.
Upgrading paper stock with age, she felt her way through adolescence with writing as a sixth sense. Her sketches captured people or scenes like snapshots – of awkward school lunches, world travels, and being raised by wolves.
Robinett’s appetite for experience is consumptive; she explores to edges. Graduating valedictorian she followed a love of fashion and strong coffee to Seattle for school and work, which included:
A degree in Journalism and Marketing; nine-to-five’s at Microsoft and Nordstrom Direct; modeling for Nike and Amazon; moonlighting as a copywriter and freelance journalist for local glossies; launching and managing a boutique PR agency.
And, in the days’ last hours – when all the to-dos were done and her friends had given up hope of her attendance at happy hours – Robinett would write. Fiction. For herself. And now, with her arrival to New York City and debut publication, Go Gallantly, for you.
