Rachel Linn writes and illustrates across multiple forms. Her written work includes fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and translation. Her visual art merges drawing, printmaking, watercolor, and needlework techniques and often takes the form of handmade books (including some to be assembled by the reader).
She holds an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Washington, where she received the Eugene Van Buren Prize for her thesis project. She was the 2020 Artist-in-Residence at the Printery Book Arts Lab at Central Print. She served on the planning board of the St. Louis Small Press Expo and, with collaborator Marika Josephson, she founded Small Letters Press in 2018.
She is currently working on her doctorate in literature (scholarly curriculum vitae).
