Shape stories that live, breathe, and linger

Christina has guided writers for decades through private workshops, generative writing sessions, and college-level writing courses. She has led the Writers Center at her institution and brings deep academic and creative expertise to every session, grounded in both rigor and empathy.

In this 1:1 session, Christina works closely with you on your writing — whether fiction, literary prose, or narrative work — helping you strengthen character, deepen setting, refine pacing, and uncover your authentic writerly voice. This is not surface-level feedback. It’s thoughtful, sensory, craft-driven guidance designed to help your story transport the reader.

Christina holds an MA in Professional Writing & Rhetoric and a PhD in Rhetoric and American Literature, blending scholarly insight with lived creative practice. Her debut novel, Addio, Love Monster (2022), was named Book of the Year by the Chicago Writers Association, and her recent novel-in-stories, The Way Beauty Comes Apart, explores generational trauma and its ripple effects within a Welsh village. She is also a widely published poet.

Christina’s Approach

Great stories don’t just explain — they embody experience.

This session helps you craft prose that carries emotion, texture, and meaning — so readers don’t just understand your story, they enter it.
