Writing

I am a creative writer at heart. My writing is about getting outside, and in many ways that is what is most important to me.

This is why I’ve chosen to work as a freelancer, so I have the time and flexibility to build a creative writing portfolio and spend time cherishing the outdoors.

Here is a sample of my published work:

• “When Rivers Dream of Becoming.” The Maine Literary Review, Spring issue 5.3, 2019 (print).
• “The Exit is an Entrance.” Nonfiction, Animal Literary Magazine, February, 2019.
• “Make the Move.” Blog on writing craft, Bird’s Thumb Review, April 2018.
• “Pikas Past Present and Future.” Nonfiction, Animal Literary Magazine, April 2018.
• “How a Mountain Goat Disappears.” Nonfiction, Two Hawks Quarterly, Spring 2018.
• “The Rider.” Nonfiction, Bird’s Thumb Review, February 2018.
• “Theater in the Night Veracious.” Nonfiction, Marathon Literary Review, Summer 2018.
• “Thirteen.” Fiction, Literally Stories, July 2017.

Writing Reviews

A Major and Singular Talent

Rebecca is to my mind a major and singular talent, the likes of which I have never quite encountered at VCFA or anywhere else. – Robert Vivian 

Vivid, Lyric, and Playful

Rebecca’s writing is, as always, beautiful. Vivid, lyric, and playful. She’s a real talent, poised to break out. – Harrison Candelaria Fletcher 

A Profoundly New and Compelling Voice

Rebecca’s work is breath-takingly beautiful. And it’s important, especially in current times of environmental degradation. Even as she carries on the tradition of Muir, Dillard, a little Thoreau and a bit of Edward Abbey, she adds a profoundly new and compelling voice. – Barbara Hurd
