Christine Fadden Writing
Collaborating on stories to spark creative, imaginative conversations!
How will I know unless I go?
- Flannery O’Connor
As someone who continually turns toward wonder, discovery, and connection, I feel honored when people share their wonder and discoveries—through story—with me.
Let’s go!
About Me
Breaking boundaries and reinventing the realm of possibility for all—what have you risked, struggled with, learned, questioned, and relearned? Nature and the environment; health, spirituality, and wellness; the psychology of team building in the workplace or in sport; birth-death-rebirth—bring me your experiences and expertise, and I’ll bring you mine.
As your creative partner, I will ghostwrite your book for you, doctor your existing draft, or coach you as you move your story forward. Be it memoir, creative non-fiction, or fiction—I sift through and identify the most pivotal and energetic elements of your story to help you organize and flesh them out. In the body of a book, I pay attention to detail, voice, cohesion, and beauty.
I care about crafting an unputdownable opening, rendering geography palpable, crafting nuanced characters, polishing sentences, and weaving the personal with the universal to illuminate other worlds and bring about a better-imagined one.
I’ve worked with
Writing is an art form that requires creative expression, the ability to craft meaningful stories and a dedication to craftsmanship. It is a journey of discovery; one that can take us on a deep exploration of ourselves, our world and the many facets of the human experience.

What other clients are saying
“I cannot imagine how I could have written my book, forthcoming from the University of Nevada Press, without Christine's excellent guidance about the order of various conversations, stories, and sections. Christine has an excellent sense of how readers will respond to the narrative, and her expertise is especially valuable if one's goal is publication.”
Jill Derby
“Your feedback was so precise and to the point that it raised my writing to a whole new level.”
S. S., developmental editing client
“Yours is the voice I want in my head while I’m writing.”
C. B., developmental editing client
“I thought writing a book about a subject most people dread—visiting the dentist—would be more challenging than making it through dental school! Thanks to Christine’s diligence, intelligence, and wit, I came out with a book that not only helps people make wiser and safer decisions when choosing a dentist, but one that makes them laugh.”
Dr. M. DMD, ghostwriting client
“Christine Fadden can offer you sound advice about the content and structure of your manuscript. She has good instincts about where to cut what is unnecessary and can help you shape a forceful presentation that combines the impact of meaning with poetry and metaphor.”

“Thank you for being my editing Bodhisattva.”
