Manu Rere Communications was born out of a desire to connect and share stories – just like the pīwakawaka when it flits through the ngāhere - a small and purposeful forest messenger.

About/
Kia ora, I’m Rachael Dell
Based in Wairarapa, Aotearoa, I connect people and ideas - to bring stories to life through writing.
Harnessing the power of words is the kind of work I love best, because words help shape our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions.
Let me share your story…

With sharp eyes for detail and an ability to take a bird’s eye view, I write to engage, inform, and inspire.
Long or short form - print or digital, for 30+ years I’ve been writing.
I’ve worked in government, the private sector, and for community organisations. This experience guides my writing practice today - to suit diverse audiences.
Flexible, open, and creative, I love projects that leave a positive and lasting mark. Whatever your big idea, bringing it to life means telling others about it.
That’s where I can help.
