First hired as a freelance writer in 2014, Rachel Heine now runs editorial and brand strategy for Nerdist. Rachel grew up reading novels with an almost distressing frequency, and fell in love with storytelling, literary theory, and the power of genre from an early age. That passion seeped into other mediums like film and television, and has grown to include obsessions with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, sci-fi lit, and 80s/90s fantasy/horror. Previously, Rachel served as Nerdist's Managing Editor, and has been writing about entertainment, genre, and all things spooky on the web since 2008.
