Married to the Author

 Welcome to Married to the Author! I’m Rachel, and my greatest passions are editing and dramaturgy.  I love to help artists like you bring the beautiful work they imagine into reality, whether that vision is a play, a screenplay, a novel, or a nonfiction piece.  Many dramaturgs develop special relationships with writers they understand and respect.  The amazing author at the center of my best collaborations is my husband, Cody.  I am-- quite literally-- married to the author.  At the same time I have a PhD in Interdisciplinary Arts and I produce my own work, both fiction and nonfiction. I will let you guess who my go-to critique partner is.  Therefore, my husband is married to the author as well.  

In many ways, our collaboration is an incredible gift.  We share our professional and creative struggles in a way many other couples can’t. Every day we debate our craft, interrogate narratives in the media we consume, and speculate how to make our writing better.  And no one is as invested in your success as the person who shares your life.  When your life partner is also your critique partner, you know every word has been read and considered (no one is moaning “why did you write a fourth draft?” or whinging “do I have to read the whole thing again?” as some critique partners do), because when you’re married to the author each person’s victory is also a family victory.  

My husband and I want to share what we’ve learned about writing, and especially about negotiating a shared writing process.  Someone to walk with you on your creative journey is a gift we wish for all writers.  Find someone you trust and experience the joy of writing together.  Every thoughtful gesture you put into that relationship will be returned to you.  We promise it will be worth it… and we should know.
