“Within six months of beginning my course, I was having work commissioned from editors. I had earned my joining fee – and more – before I had even completed half the course. The Writers Bureau made this possible for me.”

Christina’s parents gave her a head start – by the time she attended school she could already read! And so her love of words and writing began. In 1990 she enrolled with The Writers Bureau and whilst studying managed to have every assignment piece published. She was soon earning enough to give up her day job and write full-time. Since then writing has become, in her own words, ‘an obsession, a friend and a way of life.’
‘Going the Distance’, Christina’s first humorous novel was published by Orion, was chosen as WH Smith’s Fresh Talent Award and went on to sell over 200,000 copies, which put Christina on the Fastseller list. The next novel ‘Running The Risk’ was reprinted five times in only three months and two further novels quickly followed.
Christina is an award winning novelist. She won the Pure Passion Award for ‘Love Potions’ in 2008 and has had a further 16 novels published in the romantic comedy genre. She also won the Melissa Nathan category award for ‘The Best Bitch’. ‘The Way To A Woman’s Heart’ was shortlisted for the Romantic Novel of 2011 Award and, she’s still writing and selling short stores for publication in magazines. She’s also just published two volumes of short stories on Kindle – ‘Bucolic Frolics’ and ‘Happy Ever After’, which she confirms are selling very well.
Not content with success in the UK, Christina is also thrilled to be a hit in Germany! All of her novels have been translated into German and they’re loving them as much as we do.
Christina’s newest novel, ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’, is out now, and has received five star reviews on Amazon. She’s also signed a new two book deal with Piatkus/Little Brown and is heading off in a new direction with a focus on ‘big events in small locations’.
Christina’s story shows that a love of words can translate into a successful full-time career if you know where to get professional help.
"I have seen my writing journey as an adventure: What can I write? What am I best at? What new aspects of writing can I discover and contribute towards? I have welcomed the wide range of modules covering different types of writing, challenging me to try new aspects in style and content, pushing me gently outside my comfort zone with encouragement. "I signed up for the course in December 2020 as a Christmas present to myself and I started the first module in January 2021. I have had eight pieces published: three paid earning £1080 and a star letter where I won a £250 hotel voucher." Annemarie Munro - Writers Bureau Student of the Year 2022 |
