WriteHive Mentorship Program

Christie Curry
Christie Curry spends her days as a data analyst and her nights writing rom coms, dreaming up characters to bring to life (and hilarious ways to torment them). She was a 2023 mentee of the Write Hive Mentorship program, and her flash fiction piece, “Here Comes the Sun,” was published in Full Mood Mag. A southern California native, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter, and a tiny dictator masquerading as a tuxedo cat. She is represented by Morgan Hughes of FinePrint Literary Management.
I am thrilled at the opportunity to connect with a mentee. My goal is to help you take your already incredible story to the next level. I would like to have an initial meeting (either on Zoom or DMing through a platform like Discord) so we can connect and learn a little about each other and your goals for your manuscript. I can’t help but leave hundreds of comments (including lots of emoji reactions) when I read a manuscript, so that is what you can expect with in-line comments. I will also email a summary of my overall thoughts and ideas after our initial meeting. In addition to helping with your manuscript, I have a lot of experience in the query trenches and would also love to help you make your submission package shine, as well as help you develop a list of agents to query who may be a good fit.

My bread and butter is adult rom com, especially the dry humor variety. If you can make me laugh out loud, I will be putty in your hands. One of my favorites is Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter. I also love women’s fiction with romantic elements, but only if it has an HEA. I’m not the best fit for gut-wrenching angst in romance or women’s fiction. While YA isn’t my usual area of expertise, I am open to contemporary if I feel a strong connection to it. Outside of the romance space, my favorite genre to read is suspense/thriller.
