About Me

I'm Rebecca, half of Quiet Corner Communications. We help small businesses and startups achieve meaningful growth through engaging digital content. Whether you're looking for compelling blog content or case studies, eye-catching web copy or winning social media captions, we're here to turn your vision into reality.

I began my professional career in the entertainment industry, first as the Director of a local music venue, then as the VP of Operations at a grassroots start-up. I currently advise a community ampitheatre on booking, producing, and marketing safe, socially distant live events.

I'm also one of those podcast/radio people. Catch me on WNPR's "The Colin McEnroe Show" or hosting MID LIT, a podcast in praise of unpretentious literature. Whether you need creative guidance, scriptwriting, production assistance, or sound editing, I'd love to be a part of your solution.

Lastly, I'm a seasoned editor and an experienced writer. My educational background includes an MSc in Literature from the University of Edinburgh and a BA in English from the College of the Holy Cross.

News is organized into descriptive threads called subreddits, and by subscribing to various subreddits you can curate your own newsfeed. It’s an easy, democratic, and often hilarious way to keep up with the stuff you care about. But did you know that it can also be an effective grassroots marketing tool?
