A professional writer and member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), Nancy Christie writes for a wide range of magazines, including All You, Backyard Living, Better Homes & Gardens, Diabetes Focus, Innovative Home, Military Retailer, Remedy, Simply Home, Smart Homeowner Magazine. and Woman’s Day.
Her book, The Gifts of Change, (Beyond Words Publishing) encourages readers to take a closer look at how they deal with the inevitability of change and ways in which they can use change to gain a new perspective, re-evaluate their goals and reconsider their options. She is currently working on her second book (working title: Say "Yes!" for a Change) providing ways to say “yes” to opportunities to change how we think, feel, interact with others and live this life that we are given. Each chapter closes with three questions or suggestions to encourage the reader to move from the theoretical to the actual, thereby generating change in a variety of life areas.
To support that goal, Christie has created the Community of Change web site as a guide for visitors on their journey through life transitions. The site features a variety of resources, links and suggestions for integrating change into one's life, as well as information about upcoming "Rut-Busting" TM Workshops and other change-related events. Christie's monthly Change-A-Gram e-newsletter keeps people moving forward on their path to a richer, more rewarding life, while her monthly interview on The Catholic Channel (Sirius Satellite Radio) explores a variety of ways to effectively handle life's challenges.
In addition to teaching adult-level writing classes, Christie also speaks frequently on the craft of writing at writing conferences and workshops. And for those companies, organizations and non-profits who need the expertise of a professional writer to help them reach their target market, her company, Professional Writing Services, offers a full range of services from copy development to complete project management.
