Creative Writing
One of Christina's passions (yes, pun intended!) is creative writing. In 2017, after spending most of her professional life focused on her journalism and filmmaking ambitions, Christina decided to revive her life-long dream of becoming a published fiction author.
She has taken numerous creative writing courses in the US and UK via Stanford University, the Writing Barn, Gotham Writers Workshop, Writers.com, Writing the Other, and the Golden Egg Academy. She is a member of SCBWI and 12X12. In 2021, she completed the Online Certificate Program in Novel Writing through Stanford Continuing Studies at Stanford University.
She is the author of several picture book manuscripts that range from laugh-out-loud fun to poignant contemporary pieces inspired by her Ukrainian heritage and the Russo-Ukrainian war. She is also busy revising two innovative young adult novels.
