Christine Wolf

Christine Wolf is an award-winning writer, memoir coach, literary agent, and public speaker. Passionate about community-building and science-based, therapeutic writing techniques, Wolf believes we’re better able to navigate life’s challenges through the powers of human connection and writing. After a decade in marketing, Wolf earned a Master’s degree in teaching, then launched her professional writing career from her kitchen table at the age of 40. Since then, her work’s been featured on CNN and HuffPost Live, as well as in the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, Runner’s World, ChicagoNow, Better Humans, Invisible Illness, Patch, P.S. I Love You, and other outlets, almost always exploring topics of emotional depth, including relationships, mental health, grief, loss, trauma, and advocacy. In 2022, she envisioned and launched Write To Heal Retreats. 

 In 2019, Wolf founded Writers’ Haven Evanston, a cooperative writing space for women. In 2022, she launched her free newsletter on Substack, Writers’ Haven by Christine Wolf.

 A performing member with Short Story Theatre and Telling Stories, Wolf has also appeared on the stages of Mortified Chicago, Louder Than A Mom, and at The Moth — where she was named StorySLAM champion in June 2022. Her first book, co-written with Jay Pridmore, Politics, Partnerships, & Power: The Lives of Ralph E. and Marguerite Stitt Church, is a political biography about two former members of the United States Congress (Master Wings Publishing, coming December 19, 2023).

 When not coaching her memoir clients, you can find Christine working on her own memoir about sisterhood lost and found, training for the next Chicago Marathon, or trying to stay awake while watching TV with Eric. www.christinewolf.com
