Who is Rachroobear?

Hi! I’m Rachel Zarrow, a writer based in Northern California. I write fiction and nonfiction (and apparently an email newsletter now, too). As a writer, I mostly cover the arts and literature, and as a reader I am even more omnivorous in my taste.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get full access to my newsletter, which I publish about once a month. I’ll share everything from book and article recommendations to hot takes to hot potatoes (well, recipes at the very least).

Stay up-to-date

If you’re feeling the way I’m feeling these days—I can hardly recall where I left my phone (the fridge), let alone check another website for the latest installment of my favorite writing—signing up makes it easy. Every new edition of this newsletter will *magically* appear in your inbox. Pretty neat!
