Years spent as a writing tutor, and as a participant and facilitator in collaborative fiction and poetry workshops—and poring over the AP, Chicago, and MLA style guides—mean that when she tells you you're wrong, you'll feel great about it. She has edited student journals, academic essays, magazines, poetry chapbooks, one-sheets, press releases, artist bios and statements, and Harvard publications. In addition to her firm grasp of English grammar, Christine is fluent in French and German, and familiar with Spanish, and can communicate your message strongly across language barriers.
