Rachel Vine is a developmental editor, story consultant and coach, and children’s librarian based in Boorloo (Perth, WA). With a background in education, librarianship, and postgraduate study in Editing, Publishing, and Children’s Literature, she brings both heart and craft to every story she touches.

Through her boutique editing house, Wildflower Editorial, and her podcasts, Rachel supports authors of children’s and youth fiction to grow their manuscripts from tender seedling to full bloom.

She believes in the quiet power of words, the wonder of a well-told tale, and the kind of stories that plant roots in young readers’ hearts.

Rachel works from a light-filled office shared with three distractingly handsome cats, a stack of half-drunk French Earl Grey teas, and an ever-growing book collection arranged in rainbow order.
