Meet Christine Weimer
Christine Weimer is a native New York City writer, award-winning poet, publishing advisor, and founder of A Mindful Writer (formerly known as Our Galaxy Publishing), a creative hub that helps writers bring their books from idea to finished work. She holds a BA in Creative Writing and a Master’s degree in English, and has worked with over one hundred authors as a mentor, editor, and co-writer. Her work blends literary expertise with practical guidance, supporting writers as they navigate both the creative process and the realities of publishing with clarity and confidence. She is the author of three poetry collections, her work has appeared in various anthologies and literary magazines, and she has been a featured poet at several events across the New York City and New Jersey areas.
If she didn’t feel compelled to professionalism, Christine would describe herself as a disheveled mom who writes to cope with being human and is actively on the path to becoming—whatever that means.
Christine
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re carrying work you care deeply about, and a quiet fear that you might never fully bring it into the world. I know that feeling intimately.
I haven’t always trusted my voice. I’ve been a blocked artist. A shadow artist. Someone with ambition that felt too big for the life I was living, too loud for the rooms I was in, too inconvenient to fully claim. I’ve doubted my ability to follow through, questioned whether my work mattered, and wondered if I’d waited too long or missed my moment entirely.
What I’ve learned—through my own writing and through years of working with other writers—is that this kind of stuckness isn’t a personal failure. It’s often the result of trying to create without safety, without support, and without a structure that can actually hold the work we want to make.
For a long time, I thought the problem was discipline. Or talent. Or confidence. But more often than not, the real work begins much earlier, with learning how to feel safe enough to hear your own voice, steady enough to trust it, and supported enough to stay with it.
My work now is shaped by that understanding.
I help writers reconnect with what they’re here to say by creating space for it to emerge. I believe your voice isn’t something you have to invent; it’s something you remember. And when you begin to trust that your perspective matters, everything else starts to shift.
I want to support writers in building ways of working that honor real life. Not rigid routines or perfectionist systems, but rhythms you can return to. Practices that allow you to show up consistently without burning out or abandoning yourself. This is where devotion replaces urgency, where the work becomes something you can stay in relationship with over time.
We also talk honestly about what it means to share your work. Publishing, visibility, and next steps can feel overwhelming or loaded with shame and comparison. I help writers approach this part of the process with clarity and integrity, whether they’re refining a manuscript, preparing to query, self-publish, or simply deciding what comes next.
I don’t believe there’s a single right path. I believe in helping you find your path that honors your voice, your nervous system, and the season of life you’re in.
At its core, this work is about becoming someone who trusts herself enough to keep going. Someone who no longer disappears from her own creative life. Someone who can hold ambition without fear, depth without overwhelm, and commitment without self-betrayal.
If you’ve ever felt like your work was waiting for you—quietly, patiently—you’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.
This space exists for writers who are ready to step out of the shadows, take their work seriously, and build a writing life that feels sustainable, embodied, and true.
I’m really glad you found your way here. And in case no one told you today, I’m so proud of the woman you’re becoming.
