What People Are Saying
“Christie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She brings so many fresh ideas to the table and is able to fully execute them and breathe life to project ideas. She's great working alone or as part of a writer's room, and I am so grateful to have been able to collaborate with her."
— Kate Farrell, Producer/Film Rights Agent
“I had been writing for 20 years when I met Christie... And I thought I could write! But her editorial skills have made me a better, more successful writer and I recommend her services to anyone who is looking to be published--creatively or professionally. Christie gets the job done. And she does it well!”
— Valerie Howard, Author
“As a budding writer, Christie has been invaluable to my journey. Her ability to create content and bring structure to existing content has been critical to my seamless transition into the world of writing. I grow in knowledge and skill in each of our brainstorming sessions. Her critiques are fair and honest and her compliments count.”
— Shellia Wright, Screenwriter
“Christie's coaching never failed to spark new ideas! She is talented at encouraging people in a realistic and compassionate way. Her calm, yet bubbly approach to coaching made her sessions comfortable and enjoyable. As a result, my storytelling has gone deeper and she helped me think from new perspectives. I can't wait to work with her again as my writing grows! I am grateful for her genuine spirit and the knowledge that she shared.”
- Kayla Sims, Author
“Christie is so much fun to work with! Even during the most difficult moments of your project, you will find yourself laughing over some humorous truth she has unveiled about you or your work. As an artist, I am almost always in danger of taking myself too seriously. It’s wonderful to have a writing partner who helps you get out of your own head and into the possibilities of your story. Christie does this incredibly well.”
— Ina Williams, Screenwriter/Author
“If ever I have a client who needs a manuscript looked over and possibly re-developed, I NEVER look anywhere else. If I could clone Christie, I would. She's a must-have on any creative writing project whether it be film, TV, commercials, video games, or audiobooks.”
