Cristina Deptula

Literary publicist and nonprofit fundraiser

<p>I'm a literary publicist, with experience promoting fiction and nonfiction, literary and popular books online and in person. Also I've helped to edit writing and coach and train writers and editors, most recently for Synchronized Chaos Magazine (<a href="http://www.synchchaos.com">www.synchchaos.com</a>) and New Year Publishing. (<a href="http://www.newyearpublishing.com">www.newyearpublishing.com</a>.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a family live-in caregiver for my elderly grandma, who is a retired pilot and watercolor artist, and a docent at Oakland's Chabot Space and Science Center. My academic background's in international literature and biology and journalism (UC Davis and San Jose State) and I enjoy hiking, visiting art galleries and bookstores, playing with little children, sipping coffee and blueberry martinis, and stargazing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Currently raising funds for a disabled couple I know, Roger and Callie, who are trying to get back on their feet - and who also work with me to edit resumes and proofread writing.&nbsp;</p>
