I offer one-to-one mentoring (online or, if possible, in person) for beginners and emerging writers who would like to develop their individual pieces or manuscripts. I enjoy a collaborative approach to my writing and have hugely benefitted from mentoring myself. Therefore, feedback will be sensitive, detailed, and constructive. Packages can be adjusted and combined according to your needs. Do get in touch via the contact form if you would like to discuss your project. I work with poets and writers of fiction and nonfiction.

Testimonials:
‘As an adult student of Christina I have found her to give us enough latitude and yet stick to the discipline of the topic in question. Her comments on all of our writings were very thought-provoking and deep. She is able to connect our pieces with our other writings. I think she is very competent, capable and eminently suited to her role.' — May L.
