Rachelle Rea Cobb

make your words work for you

About

Hi there! I’m Rachelle—an author, blogger, and writing coach/editor. Welcome to my corner of the web. My mission is to make your words work for you so you can accomplish your goals as a writer.

Tell me—does any of this sound familiar?

  • You love writing stories, but you’re not sure you have the know-how to become a novelist.
  • You tell no one about the fact that you write, even though you dream of hitting the bestseller lists someday.
  • You need time to write and to learn more about writing!
  • You’re overwhelmed with everything you know you need to do to polish your words but you have no clue where to start. You may have already put your words down on the page, but now what?

My friend, you are in the right place.

WHY THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU

I know what it’s like to get caught up in the overwhelm of wanting to write but not knowing how to make writing a career.

As a romance novelist, blogger, and writing consultant, I have made words my currency. I live in my inbox and Microsoft Word. I geek out over grammar.

But I understand what’s it like to experience the insecurity that comes with entrusting your article or book baby to another pair of eyes—and the overwhelm of all the things writers are expected to do.

Over time, I’ve realized as a writing coach and editor…

  • If I can make the words on your page simpler and more efficient, I can give you, writer, the control to take your novel where you want it to go.
  • If I can help you develop better writing routines, habits, and systems, I can give you a solid foundation to get you through the overwhelm of taking your book from first draft to polished manuscript.
  • If I ever become okay with  “good enough” when it comes to polishing your pages until they shine, I’m closing up shop.

Together, I help my writing clients discover small, but impactful ways to make every page they write just a little bit better, so you can focus on what really matters: the heart and art of whatever you’re writing. 

My goal is never to add more to your plate. Instead, I’ll help you manage learning how to write more smoothly, so no typo or sagging plot point can ever get in the way of your dreams.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME VISITING, I’D LOVE FOR YOU TO GET TO KNOW ME BETTER.

I am a freelance editor, author of six books, and voracious reader. I married a man with the same name as my fictional hero in this trilogy I wrote before we even met, and we live our happily ever after in a fixer-upper by the sea. I’m a fan of chai and lemonade (though definitely not together).

I edit for writers, bloggers, and authors in England, Belgium, Ethiopia, and beyond. If you’re a writer looking for a little polishing on a project, check out my editing services.

I’m also quite the introvert, so writing/blogging/editing behind a computer screen is one of my dream jobs.

WHERE TO NEXT?

This page includes my tips and tutorials about writing and is a great place to start if you’re new to my site. It doesn’t matter whether you write fiction, nonfiction, or something in between; you’ll find plenty of ideas to improve your writing.

Or maybe you’d be interested in my Resources page, where I list the tools and apps I use to organize my life, business, and, well, everything (and only one isn’t free!).

But the absolute best way to keep up with me and peek into what goes on behind-the-scenes is to hop on my mailing list, which you can do below.

Or, if you’d rather contact me directly, you can send an email to [email protected]. My inbox is always open, and I’d love to hear from you!

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 46 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 46 weeks old today! So far my first March is going well; I like the weather and longer days.

This week I made strawberry muffins with Mommy that I then didn’t want to eat (more for Daddy!). I figured out I like playing with the baby thermometer. I can also open the toilet seat, and I’ve almost got the refrigerator hacked, too. Let the second round of baby-proofing begin!

My favorite toys include the lint roller and board books. I continue to sleep 11 hours a night like a champ, and now I can officially say that next month I turn one!

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 45 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 45 weeks old today! I’m opening my own hair salon; Daddy is my first client.

This week I figured out light switches and that I don’t like the sound of the the car alarm.

This beautiful spring weather means we’re enjoying lots of walks around local parks right now. Still not a fan of my car seat but something about that stroller is totally different!

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 44 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 44 weeks old today! I say “yeah” in reply to everything; otherwise everything is “uh-oh” or “da-da.” Unless it’s a “na-na” (🍌)!

I’m learning about sharing. This week Mommy and I were playing when she dropped a toy, and I picked it up and handed it back to her sweetly. But another night I faked her out and almost handed her something only to take it right back! We laughed and laughed at that!

I’m loving fruit, peanut butter on the spoon, and pork chops. I’m 17lbs now and in size 3 diapers! And watch out because I can high-five really hard!

Dear Rosalie, We had what felt like our first rea Dear Rosalie,

We had what felt like our first real conversation yesterday afternoon. We were playing on your play mat, just the two of us, when the phone rang.

“Da?” You looked straight at me as if you knew it was almost the hour when Daddy gets home.

“No,  it’s probably GiGi calling to FaceTime,” I said as I stood up to check the phone on the kitchen counter. 

“Oh!” You answered.

That first back-and-forth-with-real-words exchange felt like the first real glimpse at a change coming to our relationship, a time when you no longer communicate merely needs and wants but also opinions. Thoughts. Emotions bigger than yay-peas-for-lunch!

It’s only natural. You’re not alone, after all. Welcome to the world of opinions. Social media has made social distancing merely physical. The din of noise never really died. With one click, I have ready access to many mommy’s opinions on the best bottles, best bibs, best books for babies.

Here’s the problem with opinions: everybody’s got one.

Here’s my promise to you: I care about yours. 

I care about your preferences about what’s for lunch, what onesie you wear today, and what you see as we go on our daily stroller walk. I love your chatter. I love YOU, and I want to know what’s going on in that growing brain of yours.

So does God. He loves you so, and He never sleeps, never needs to take a work call, never even steps away for one second. He loves your chatter. He loves YOU. He’s always watching over you, and He even understands your baby babble better than I. I can’t wait to teach you as you grow just how big His love is for you and how eager He is to hear you. 

May you grow to be a woman who speaks to Him, listens to Him, listens to others, and speaks up for others.

Happy double digits day, happy 10 months, baby girl.

Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 43 weeks old toda Hi, my name is Rosalie and I’m 43 weeks old today! I am very ticklish and snuggly and into everything!

I’m especially curious about the internet router (or anything electronic that blinks, really) and laundry baskets (could there be treasure inside?! I always check to make sure!) and the fridge!

I dislike scrambled eggs but like sweet peas for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Oh, yeah, and happy Valentine’s Day! 💕
