I’m Rachel and I’d love to help you with your book and/or your website!
I’m a self-published author and have been writing books since I was 10-years-old. I have also been blogging since 2012. I run three blogs and websites, maintain their social media, and contribute to a few other websites as well.
I know how difficult it is to run and website and to write and publish a book. I’ve learned a lot over the years and hope to make the process easier for you. I enjoy helping other writers out whether it’s editing their book, promoting their work, or giving a lending hand on their website.
My services are listed below as well as testimonials and my LinkedIn profile. Thank you for considering me to help you with your passion projects. I look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials
I’ve had the pleasure of having Rachel as a Beta Reader and member of my ARC Team for several months now. What I noticed immediately is that she is prompt, which I love. I find this quality important because writers who send their manuscript to Betas can expect to wait weeks, sometimes months for feedback. Rachel, however, is always the first to finish the read and provides valuable feedback. Focusing not just on her likes and dislikes but also on how the story flows and the writing style, I always feel that I am getting honest and well-balanced input from this young woman. Rachel pays attention to detail and I can tell that she is giving it her all. Good Betas are hard to come by and I am honored to recommend her and to have her as a member of my team.
In the three months Rachel interned for me, she proved to be a valuable asset. She is dedicated, follows instructions quite impressively and keeps things clear through constant communication. In a few projects I’ve had the chance to hire her, I was very happy with her work and I’m looking forward to working with her on future projects as well.

To whomever reads this, my name is Jack Longman. I run the May 5th, 2015 established Nintendo Media Site, Miketendo64.com. Since February 13th 2017, in addition to running Double Jump with her sister Kris Poli, and reviewing books, Rachel Poli has acted as a freelancer who has often contributed to the site. From undertaking reviews for Nintendo Switch and 3DS, to offering up ideas, Rachel has shown herself to be a hard worker, capable of working under pressure, great at multi-tasking and is most importantly, a team player.
“Rachel has enthusiasm, passion and a willingness to learn, a fact that was most proven when we revised our review structure and Rachel was the first one to learn it and put it into effect. As for her writing skill, due to being an avid reader and student of many styles, Rachel’s points are punctual, her opinions are well expressed in a detailed fashion that is not off-putting to all who read them and I have often enjoyed reading the content she provides not just for our site, but her own as well. So I would certainly say, she is an asset to whoever is lucky to have her to write for them, as she is positively delightful as both a person and in her writing.

FAQs
Can I hire you for more than one service or long-term?
Yes, of course. If we work well together, I’d love to aid you on your journey for as long as you need it.
How long is your turnaround time?
This will depend on what you need. If you need more than one service, it will take longer. Also, if I already have work ahead of you, I may not be able to get started right away. However, this will be told to you upfront should we decide to work together.
What if I need to cancel my needs?
If you need to cancel for any reason, don’t worry. I understand things happen. However, I ask that you please let me know as soon as you can. If the project has not been started, I will give you a full refund on the 25% you already paid. If I already started the project, I’ll send you what I did so far and will keep the 25% you paid. I understand things come up, but I still need to be paid for my time and effort regardless.
What if you need to cancel?
I’m human just like you and sometimes life does happen. Should I need to cancel for any reason, I’ll send you what I have already worked on and give you a full refund on the 25% you paid.
I have more questions.
If you don’t see your question here, please don’t hesitate to send me an email to ask. Chances are, others might have the same question. I’ll answer you through email and also add the question and answer here.
