Publishing & Writing Coaches, Events, and Resources

I've spent my career doing technical writing where ideas have to be precise and clear to expert readers who are deciding whether the work moves forward. To this end, I'm a subject matter expert in crafting research abstracts, concept papers, and technical narratives that persuade expert reviewers at agencies like the Department of Energy and other entities. The challenge here is communicating that idea is both interesting, and worth funding. That work requies the same skills used in strong academic and business writing: framing a research problem clearly, situating it in existing work, stating a contribution without overselling, and anticipating skeptical questions from people who know the field. Alongside that, I've guided engineers, scientists, and early researchers through proposals, white papers, and publishable drafts where the challenge tends to be clarity and structure. I know how it feels to stare at a blank page with a good idea and no clean way to organize it, because I've been there myself!

I have been an author years and with two published books and counting. I also train authors and help them write and publish their books while assisting with marketing, branding, and social media marketing. I often host mastermind sessions and hold author spotlights with the best in the industry. These meetings are for both aspiring and seasoned authors, no matter what level of writing you are at - you will gain a lot of gems at my masterminds. I only feature the best. I teach business entrepreneurship, since becoming an author has so much more to do with than just writing. You become a marketer, a business person, a writer, and you have to build a platform! It is critical to have an audience. Contact me if you'd like help with how to get started. I have created my inspirational blog and have written several hundred articles, which has been named one of the best by Word press, with millions of views. I have been featured in many magazines and podcasts, and I was recently named one of the top 10 leading and notable women for 2025 on MSN. Let's start your coaching soon to make your dream of becoming an author come true!

Welcome to my profile! I am a fiction writer and current student in the MSt in Creative Writing at the University of Oxford. My work has been published in Litro, The Frogmore Papers, and other venues, and I have been longlisted for the Cambridge Short Story Award, Yeovil First Novel Award and Unleash Press First Novel Award. I graduated from Faber Academy's 'Writing a Novel' course and National Centre for Writing's 'Short Story' course. Before transitioning to writing, I worked as a management consultant with McKinsey and hold an MPhil in Development Studies from the University of Oxford and a MA in Politics and Economics from the University of Glasgow. Primarily, I can support with granular feedback on manuscripts AND/OR help on joining writing programs like the ones I was part of. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. Best, Cristian
