Mann, Rachel

Rachel Mann has been writing for as long as she can remember. She has since compiled a large collection of short stories and plays, many of which have been commissioned by local schools and Youth Theatres. She became a published poet in 1996 and has appeared on HTV's 'Artifax, ' after her adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' was used as part of a community project. 'The Book Soul' is her debut novel, a venture, in her own words that has been 'long overdue.'
