Creative Coaching | Multicultural SFF + Horror | Upmarket Genre + Literary Fiction | Short-form (Stories, Essays, Poetry)
Christa's grimoire as local word witch at MetaMythica Literary includes horror, fantasy, and folklore/mythology, as well as postmodern literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, and poetry. She works with both genre and literary writers, specializing in upmarket speculative fiction, especially with a postmodern twist. While novels/series are her bread-and-butter, she’s especially fond of short-form works. She'll help you hone your craft with an intersectional, trauma-informed lens and personal touch.
