Enter your professional bio here : Christine Wolf is an award-winning memoir coach, freelance writer and editor with 20+ years' experience in the publishing industry, equally passionate about public speaking, interviewing, and research. Highly sought-after to bring clarity and compassion — particularly with emotionally complex topics — Wolf is an experienced, energetic teacher & writing coach who uses positivity to encourage her students and clients to find and elevate their voices and brands. In 2014, Wolf founded Writers' Haven, a co-working space designed for creative women, and runs it to this day. Her services include in-person private and communal spaces for writing, as well as virtual, one-on-one writing coaching. Wolf's dynamic background includes extensive marketing and teaching experience. Early in her career, she led advertising and marketing projects at Leo Burnett USA and DDB Needham Worldwide for Fortune 500 companies including Procter & Gamble, Kellogg's, and General Mills. Wolf later earned a Master of Arts in Teaching and taught for nearly 10 years before turning her career focus to writing full-time. Since then, she's blogged prolifically and has been a published opinion columnist on Patch.com, The Chicago-Sun Times, and The Chicago Tribune. Her work has also been featured on RunnersWorld.com, Invisible Illness, The Ascent, Hello, Love, Women This Way, Post-Grad Survival Guide, and BetterHumans. In June, 2022, Wolf was named The Moth's StorySLAM Champion in Chicago As an enterprise/investigative reporter, Wolf has covered subjects including gun violence, trauma, depression, mental health, racism, education, sexual harassment, sports, medical advocacy, resilience, and personal profiles. Her high-profile interviews include President Barack Obama (in the first Google+ Hangout from the White House) and Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld. A sought-after public speaker (The Moth, Mortified Chicago, Health Partners Group, LLC), Wolf regularly speaks to audiences of all sizes, whether moderating panels, giving keynote addresses, or addressing writing groups in more intimate, small group settings. Wolf is a former Board member of the Society of Professional Journalists/Chicago Headline Club, and a current member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, the Association of Writers & Writing Programs, the Society of Midland Authors, and Biographers International. Always in search of dynamic writing opportunities focused on authentic and compelling storytelling, Wolf's projects cover a wide range of topics, particularly community building, emotional healing, mental health, personal growth, and women's leadership. A mother of three based in Chicago, Wolf completed three Chicago Marathons and is confident that her marathon-training mindset has deeply informed and improved her sense of discipline and stamina as a writer. https://www.christinewolf.com/writers-haven-evanston https://www.christinewolf.com/memoir-coach www.christinewolf.com/public-speaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMkDCzqie3Q http://www.chicagonow.com/riding-the-waves/2018/01/amtrak-crash-twenty-five-years-later-comstock-michigan-1993-christine-wolf/ https://medium.com/invisible-illness/this-is-how-you-talk-about-depression-e7060b8988ba?sk=247098eb57548225d3fa679575ddec40 https://christinewolf.medium.com/you-are-not-alone-35b1d5b0d1d0?sk=6365203603aeedbd9ba7e1f13b51f91e https://medium.com/women-this-way/i-had-dinner-with-a-racist-last-night-this-is-how-it-went-de85ad95fb11?source=friends_link&sk=6e2db30e8c630e03a529ae33fdf3ed34 https://christinewolf.medium.com/whats-really-behind-new-trier-high-school-s-controversial-re-opening-plan-a76d1dccdf8?sk=aa3f27ce63d6cb2ba492e79987c10df1 https://www.christinewolf.com/thelatest/the-groping-and-the-boy-across-the-hall https://medium.com/the-ascent/how-to-conquer-your-first-marathon-91b0e5716c9b?sk=61bbe1173391c0933eddb88ded655a1a https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/illinois-become-1st-state-requiring-insurers-cover-treatment-wolf/ https://psiloveyou.xyz/a-familys-fierce-love-brightens-covid-s-darkest-days-16eedcbc09d2?sk=9679a0c98907dd5eef04b10dea6530e3 https://medium.com/women-this-way/how-to-love-life-fiercely-and-make-it-count-b0c79151ef42?source=friends_link&sk=9fdacd15517056ec1c242f89fcbfd18c https://youtu.be/eeTj5qMGTAI?t=130 https://www.christinewolf.com/public-speaker
