Hello! I'm Christianne Squires, and I help you birth your book without losing your soul.

I mostly work with contemplative leaders. Some are spiritual directors. Some are retreat leaders or teachers. Some are poets. Some are therapists. Some are artists. Some identify as contemplatives, others as activists.

Most have lived through significant life moments that changed them and made them want to help other people.

They’re noble souls doing quiet, beautiful work in the world.

Taken together, I’m stunned and humbled by all that light. All that beauty and grace. All the healing and hope brought into the world and offered for its betterment through such sacred soul work.

We need more of this. 

If this resonates with you and what you're about in the world, I would love to come alongside you in your book pregnancy. 

I’ve worked in publishing and editorial for more than twenty years and in spiritual direction and spiritual formation for fifteen. It is my great delight to merge these two vocations into the work I do here at Bookwifery.

Here, I offer a deeply supportive path for you to birth your book without losing your soul. We move together through each phase of your book pregnancy to ensure the book inside you continues to grow, that space is made in the outer world to receive your book, and that you (yes, you!) are tended too. 

I talk a lot about discernment in this work. That's because growing and birthing a book that helps heal the world with light is deeply spiritual work, undertaken in partnership with the Holy. Such partnership requires deep listening and noticing, and here you receive space for that.

I live in Florida, USA, with my husband, Kirk, and our two cats, Aslan and Lucy.

It would be my great joy to come alongside you in both the practical and spiritual realities of your book pregnancy.

Over the many years of my editorial career, I've held a number of different roles. Some of those have included:

• Associate book editor for a traditional publishing house

• Staff editor for an international nonprofit

• Writing director for an honors college

• Print magazine editor

• Online media editor

• Writer-for-hire

• Fully-booked-out freelance book editor

Books have always been my first love. 

I'm also a practitioner of the soul. I have been trained in spiritual formation and spiritual direction and have earned an MA and certificate in these fields, respectively. I have been writing and developing resources for the soul since 2008.

Along the way, I completed a master's degree in entertainment business, too. 

In addition to my work at Bookwifery, I lead an online community for contemplative women called the Light House, founded in 2019.

My work at Bookwifery fosters a fulfilling blend of my editorial expertise, publishing knowledge, spiritual discernment, and business acumen, all of which I put at your disposal in the best ways I know how.

I'm so glad you're here. I hope you'll find here at Bookwifery the guidance and support you need to birth a book that helps further shine the light that is uniquely yours to bear in this world.
