Christine Wolf

Christine Wolf is an award-winning writer, trauma-informed memoir coach, developmental editor, and public speaker dedicated to helping people transform lived experience into meaningful story. Grounded in science-based expressive writing techniques and community-building, she believes human connection and storytelling help people navigate life’s most complex challenges.

After a decade working in marketing, Christine earned a Master’s degree in teaching and launched her professional writing career from her kitchen table at age 40. Her work has since appeared on CNN and HuffPost Live and in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Runner’s World, ChicagoNow, Better Humans, Invisible Illness, Patch, P.S. I Love You, and other outlets, often exploring relationships, mental health, grief, trauma, and advocacy.

Christine is the founder of Writers’ Haven Evanston, a cooperative writing space and literary community. She also created the Substack publication Writers’ Haven by Christine Wolf, launched Write to Heal Retreats, and founded The Center for Shared Grief, an initiative that expands healing-centered writing into broader grief-support programming.

A performing storyteller, Christine has appeared on the stages of Short Story Theatre, Telling Stories, Mortified Chicago, Louder Than A Mom, and The Moth, where she was named a StorySLAM Champion in June 2022.

She is the co-author, with Jay Pridmore, of Politics, Partnerships, & Power: The Lives of Ralph E. and Marguerite Stitt Church, a political biography chronicling the life of one of the first fifty women elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Christine teaches memoir and expressive writing at Northwestern University and leads workshops nationwide for corporate, community, and therapeutic audiences. She’s currently working on a memoir about sisterhood, silence, and survival, and training for her next Chicago Marathon with her husband, Eric. www.christinewolf.com
