University of Maryland

We are a full-service digital marketing agency for small businesses. We specialize in companies within the edTech and healthcare niche but have worked with all kinds of professionals. Based in NJ, but serve clients nationally and internationally.

We offer social media management, copywriting, branding, Google Ads, and more!

I help fiction authors get their books out of their heads and onto the page. Your readers want an enchanting, polished story, and working with a professional can help you deliver. I'm an Author Accelerator certified book coach, a RevPit Editor, and part of the copyediting team for an award-winning SFF magazine. My clients have included "Big 5" traditional publishers, self-publishing authors, and independent publishers of all sizes.

As far as my background—I hold a certificate in editing from the University of Chicago's graduate-level editing program, along with a specialization in developmental editing. (So I'm fluent in both CMOS and book mapping!) I also have a certificate in journalistic editing from the Poynter Institute. As for my other editing adventures, I'm on the board of directors for the San Diego Professional Editors Network, and I'm a member of the SFWA, HWA, EFA, and ACES. Before shifting to full-time fiction editing, I spent years in technical writing/editing, and have a degree in Environmental Science. As a writer myself, I completely understand how nerve-racking (and flat-out terrifying) it can be to hand over your story for feedback. When we work together, you can look forward to your edits—I’m on your team to help your work resonate with readers!

So how about you and I get started, and let’s get that story finished! Send me a message at contact@raquelbrown.com. I can’t wait to be a part of your publishing journey!

Interactive memories book where you fill in the blank with one word to bring you instantly back to your childhood. Great for Boomers. Also for caregivers and senior recreation directors for life review. It’s fun and it unlocks memories from your attic! You’ll love it!
