About Full Spectrum Editorial

Hi, I’m Rachel, the editor behind Full Spectrum Editorial. Though I became a professional editor in 2020, I’ve been editing informally for over 25 years.

Like many women, I was diagnosed as neurodivergent in my 30s, after I became a mother. It was like I’d been wandering around in a dark room my whole life and someone finally turned on the lights. Gradually, I’ve begun to understand why everything in life seems so much harder, so much louder, and so much more confusing for me than for my peers. The more time I spend processing this identity, the more I appreciate how being neurodivergent informs every aspect of who I am and how I interact with the world.

I started Full Spectrum Editorial to create a space where writers of all neurotypes can feel safe, accepted, encouraged, and supported.
