Rachel Estep

Rachel’s journey into publishing has always been rooted in a deep love of story. A lifelong reader and passionate advocate for books that reflect the messy, joyful, complicated realities of life, she entered the world of publishing as an indie bookseller and connecting readers with stories that mattered to them.

Before joining D4EO, Rachel spent years working in an independent bookstore (where she still works three days a week!), where she developed a proven track record in both author advocacy and book sales. Her background also includes literary event coordination, managing ARC outreach, and digital marketing, where she built lasting connections with authors, publicists, and readers alike.

In her personal life, Rachel is the mother of two boys. Her youngest has several medical complexities which has taught her how to advocate fiercely, while her oldest is wildly intelligent and humbles her on the daily. She lives on a chaotic- yet love filled- homestead where she and her boys, along with her husband and parents, garden across several acres of land as well as raise chickens, ducks, and two turkeys with main character energy.

Rachel is an avid Taylor Swift fan, a bona fide Disney adult, a lover of 2000’s rom-coms, a connoisseur on Ben and Jerry’s flavors, and a proud Pitbull parent.
