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 and two short stories published in her Dark Victoriana Collection, Christie loves writing various genres of fiction. You can read 3 free episodes of each book in her Kindle Vella gaslamp fantasy series, Grimoire Society of Dark Acts, here. She also has some free pieces on Wattpad. Her passion is editing other authors’ manuscripts to help make them the best they can be.
Aside from editing and fiction writing, Christie has hosted three podcasts/videocasts and has interviewed hundreds of authors, including award-winning and bestselling authors like Karen Kingsbury, Peter Straub, Robert Sawyer, and Peter James. Her current podcast is called Lurking for Legends, a live read videocast, and she hosts it with epic fantasy author Richard H. Stephens and science fiction author David M. Kelly every second Tuesday once a month at 8 p.m. ET.
Christie has an archive of fun and informative YouTube videos and livestreams on her author channel as well as on The Writer’s Edge livestream panel discussion show. Between these two channels, there are over 200 videos to enjoy.
