Bio
Lila L.
I recently took Christina’s EFA course Intro to Line Editing Fiction and Creative Nonfiction. I learned so much! Christina expertly explains the art of line editing and gives friendly and meaningful feedback on assignments. I strongly recommend her EFA courses, and I hope to take more of them in the future.

I'm about to start my second class under the instruction of Christina and I'm truly looking forward to it. Christina is an excellent teacher (of line editing, in my case). She is clear and super helpful, and I'm excited to receive her kind and generous feedback on my editing. Christina stays active in her class forums, and I've learned so much from her. I highly recommend Christina's classes!
