Rachel is an award-winning freelance journalist whose work has appeared in publications such as Healthline, HuffPost and The Guardian. They are currently a health and disability expert at Verywell Health. They founded The Unwritten after noticing a lack of disabled stories that didn’t just focus on inspiration or trauma. When she’s not writing she can be found (slowly) chasing after her sausage dog Rusty somewhere around North East England. Their pronouns are she/they and won’t be offended by whichever you use.
Cath Poucher- Deputy Editor
Cath used to work in the heritage industry before moving into tourism and marketing and spends her days doing all things wedding and events. Cath initially supported The Unwritten as a writer and contributor, after finding she couldn’t relate to stories about her disabilities in mainstream media. When not working or editing for The Unwritten she can be found exploring the countryside somewhere in England or pampering her rather spoilt rabbits, Merry and Pippin. She uses she/her pronouns.
