049: Rachelle Nelson

Rachelle Nelson grew up reading fantasy novels and getting her clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, she still loves hiking through mountains and libraries, though she is a bit less fond of mud. She doesn't write true stories, but she writes about truth. When Rachelle is not reading and writing, she sings in a band with her talented husband, who makes her happier than should be legal. If you like adventures, good food, and honest conversations, you are her favorite kind of person. The blank page is clean and beautiful and there’s so much space. I love the start of things. —Rachelle Nelson Connect with Rachelle Nelson on her website (rachellenelsonauthor.com) and Instagram (@rachelle.nelson.author) Mentioned in This Episode Sky of Seven Colors | Rachelle Nelson Brandon Sanderson’s YouTube writing class Subscribe to Rachelle’s newsletter and get the Sky of Seven Color prequel novelette!
