Grace Rachow is a freelance editor and writing coach who is best known as editor and publisher of the yearly Community of Voices anthologies. Since 1995, these collections have featured the fiction, nonfiction and poetry of several hundred writers, most of them from the Tri-Counties. The Community of Voices projects provide several writing scholarships as well as many volunteer/learning opportunities in the areas of the editing and publishing. The most recent anthologies are "When We Were Young, Childhood and Adulthood."

Grace is a frequent public speaker offering such topics as:

  • The Importance of Story
  • Dream Metaphors
  • Why Writers Need Mentors
  • Putting Humor in Your Writing, and
  • Why Writers Should Also Be Speakers.

Professional feedback can help speed the time needed to establish you as a successful professional writer. Grace Rachow has worked with hundreds of writers to improve their writing at all stages of the creative process, from conception to pre-publication proofing.
