Work with Me as Your Writing Guide
Welcome
We write for many purposes—to achieve our goals, to express our beliefs, to learn about ourselves. Writing well requires intention and attention, imagination and intellect. As your guide I will support your growth as a thinker and as a communicator, as one who has ideas worth sharing in a form worth reading. Let me help you find your writer's voice and unleash its power to create the life of your dreams.
Writing for Your Life
No matter the project—personal narrative, essays for school, cover letters for a job search, purpose statements for your business, or writing to find out who you are and what you want, we will use practical and imaginative tools to activate your creativity, to hone your inner writer's voice, and to craft purposeful professional and nonfiction writing that will say just what you mean.
"I had to write a personal essay that I was struggling with and Christy helped me get it done. We worked through what I wanted to say and then she helped me make it a masterpiece. I have been getting many compliments on my writing skills." --Nicole
Working Together
If you are working on a nonfiction or professional project, we will tap into your life experiences to draw out your best thinking and writing. With my diverse experience with research, poetry, nonfiction personal essay, and memoir, I will walk with you to the finish line. I have been a professor of education for 20 years, have authored three books, and have coached countless writers and thinkers to produce work they are proud to call their own.
I work individually with writers, professionals, graduate students, and rising high school seniors who are working on college applications. We meet online or in person in South Denver.
Let's set up a complimentary 30 minute discussion to see how I can support you. Fees are typically $125 per hour or $450 for a package of 4 one-hour sessions. Contact me for pricing by project.
"Thank you for being someone who cares about my learning and my work!" --Gretchen
