Christie Stratos:
As the owner of Proof Positive, Christie is constantly keeping up with and analyzing publishing industry trends and bestselling books. She has a tenacious appetite for reading all genres from all time periods—in her opinion, you can never read too much. With two novels published in her Dark Victoriana Collection, Christie loves writing various genres of fiction—she has some free pieces on Wattpad. Her passion is editing other authors’ manuscripts to help make them the best they can be.
Christie works with City Owl Press as an associate editor, acquiring manuscripts with unique ideas and strong character development. See her wishlist and how to query her here.
Aside from editing and fiction writing, Christie hosts the podcast Creative Edge Writer’s Showcase on Authors on the Air, interviewing award-winning and bestselling authors like Tosca Lee, Robert Sawyer, and Peter James; niche authors like civility expert Lew Bayer; and even reviewers like Ellen Michelle.
