Actor | Poet | Fantasy Writer

Rachael Lord (she/her) lives in Fort Myers, Florida with her two rescue dogs. Originally from Topsham, Maine, she spent the first fourteen years of her life learning how to crack a lobster before moving to the Sunshine State. As a professional EMC actress, Rachael has never met a role she didn't love. Her motto is: "There's always joy and love to be found in every role and every moment."

​When not onstage or writing feminist fantasy novels and gut-wrenching poetry, Rachael enjoys watching reality television, drinking coffee, and teaching the next generation of young artists. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the literary magazine Ghost Light Lit. You can check out the magazine here. 

Upon its publication in December 2021, her poetry collection Fragile Hearts Club debuted at #1 on Amazon's New Releases for Poetry for Young Adults. The Meaning of Stars, ​her second collection, was released in August 2023 with Nymeria Publishing. Her third poetry collection ​The Astronaut and the Rose Colored Helmet ​will be published in January 2026. Rachael has a BFA in Musical Theatre from Florida Southern College and an MFA in Writing from Lindenwood University.
