Rachel Bateman

Hi, booknerds! I'm Rachel, and I write books and things. This channel is an archive of videos about writing, publishing, and all things bookish. On this channel you can expect to find writing advice and inspiration, the nitty gritty of publishing, and probably way too many references to the Scream series and Dawson's Creek.

I'm a hybrid YA author - self-published first before making the jump into traditional publishing. My self-pub debut, 99 Days of Laney MacGuire can be found in ebook and paperback at all major online retailers, and in select Barnes & Noble stores. Someone Else's Summer (Running Press/Hachette), my trad-pub debut, and Make the Fireflies Dance (Running Press/Hachette) can be found wherever books are sold! Someone Else's summer has also been optioned for film, with Bailee Madison attached to star in the movie adaptation.

I'm represented by Liza Fleissig of the Liza Royce Agency, and you can find me on Instagram and threads @rachelbatemanbooks.
