FAQ //

will you review my book?

I’m happy to chat more about collaborating on a paid post to highlight your book — my rates for Instagram posts start at $250 and for Tiktoks start at $500. Feel free to email me at rad@racheladawson.com to talk further! If you want to send a copy of your book with no guarantee I’ll read or share about it (I get about a dozen of these requests a week, so there are more books than I can ever post about!), you’re more than welcome to— you can send it to Rachel Dawson, P.o. box 7033, Richmond, VA 23221.

What do your tattoos mean?

Read about them here: here's my olive branch, my Greek beloved, and my Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design, my shark, plus sign, and selah. There's also an arrow on the side of my foot.

where do you write?

I have written for the new york times (!!!), Yellow Conference, Everyday Exiles, Founded Magazine (here and here), BibleStudyTools, Crosswalk, iBelieve, Delight Ministries, Holl and Lane Magazine, Kingdom Spark, Thryve Magazine (Issue 6: Mended), Create Lounge (here and here),  Jobipedia, and more.

how did you find your counselor, and what made you start going?

I cannot talk about counseling enough -- I firmly believe every single person should see a counselor! Here's where I wrote about one year of counseling and what I learned. I mostly share about my counseling journey on my Instagram-- you can find my stories saved in the highlights under "counseling." I started going because I was battling severe depression and anxiety, mostly tied to my past abusive relationship and the trauma I endured. You can read my story about that here.
