Overview
Writing is literally my life. Writing can be healing, revealing, transformative, and open new doors to different worlds and ways of understanding. I've seen this happen again and again for myself and for others. Hence, my passion is two-fold: to create my own stories and to help others polish theirs and publish them.
My editing ethic is to help you, the writer, make your work the best it can be, whatever the subject, while respecting the authenticity and uniqueness of your voice.
I have many testimonials from happy clients: here are a couple of recent ones:
"This is my third time working with Christina and as always, her editorial assistance was illuminating and transformational for my novel. Christina is excellent at pulling away the layers of overwriting to make your narrative sharper and more gripping. She gives wonderful advice for developmental growth, and her honest, insightful appraisal gives your writing its best shot at getting published. She really works wonders. I will soon have my first Australian publishing success thanks to Christina."
"What truly distinguishes Christina is her unwavering commitment to excellence. She approached every aspect of the editing process with professionalism, passion, and integrity, ensuring that my vision as an author was fully realised. Her promptness and speed in providing the feedback have been key factors in getting my work published in a timely manner.
