ABOUT
Christine Merser
Author, Journalist, & Podcaster
Christine Merser storyteller. Her work spans numerous outlets including the written word, where her fiction, nonfiction, and memoir have already resonated with readers. "She sees things the way I do, but couldn't articulate until she brings it to the forefront.
Her debut novel, Flight of the Starling, is the first in a trilogy exploring the quiet complexities—and bold awakenings—of wealthy women leading curated lives. It’s already being called “made for Netflix,” and for good reason: Merser’s sharp observations and layered characters are ready for the screen.
Her nonfiction work, Circles of Collaboration, draws from decades as the founder of a successful consulting firm, where she worked with clients across industries and led conversations about women's leadership, power, and voice in a changing world. The book is both a guide and a reflection on how women can lead with purpose and unity, rooted in Christine’s own growth and the circles that shaped her.
The Letter is her most personal work—a memoir chronicling her complex, beautiful, and often challenging relationship with her mother. It's honest, unsparing, and deeply moving. It will be available in May of 2025.
Christine is also the voice behind American Memoir 2025, a Substack column chronicling these turbulent political years through a deeply personal lens. Her earlier memoir blog drew thousands of readers, and her essays have appeared in Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, and others.
Christine's podcasting and film reviews for Her Screen Thoughts enjoy a featured Spotify placement and 4-star following on Apple and other outlets.
Whether she's writing fiction or nonfiction, podcasting or interviewing others, Christine Merser always illuminates what lies beneath the surface—and what’s possible when we dare to look.
