Hi! I'm Christie.

I help writers
create compelling stories,
build submission-ready manuscripts,
​get traditional book deals,
​and launch lucrative careers.

Writer, Runner, Teacher, Retreat Leader

On the ABOUT tab, you can read my philosophy on reading and learn what I wanted to be when I grow up. Now, I write picture books. Over at MY BLOG, I write articles about writing and running, but mostly writing. WRITERS WHO RUN is all about the annual writing retreat I host each June in NC. On my NEWS tab, I'll share progress about my writing journey, when my books come out, and other fun things.
