Available to hire
I’m Rebecca “RJ” Kenna, a writer, editor, and artist who thrives on helping people tell their stories with heart. Over thirteen years, I’ve partnered with writers across genres—technical writers, novelists, philosophers, academics, fantasists, screenwriters, and website creators—helping them produce work they can be proud of and present to the world without blushing. My approach blends empathy, problem-solving, and a keen eye for structure to illuminate the message at the core of every piece.
When I’m not shaping prose or design, I’m chasing history, art, mythology, and mystery. I love coffee, climbing, yoga, orchids, ballroom dancing, and language study (currently Italian). My practice centers on turning needs into clear, living stories—whether written, spoken, cooked, poured, or felt—and helping others connect with audiences in a generous, human way.
