ABOUT CHRISTA
Hello, I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Christa Vande Vegte, founder of Leaflet Writers. As a fiction author writing under the pen name Eema Stories and a Fictionary Certified StoryCoach Editor, I spend my life exploring narrative worlds—both my own and the ones my client-authors bring to me.
Whether you come to me with a brand-new story idea, a half-finished draft, or a completed manuscript, I believe every writer deserves patient, clear guidance and a space where their unique voice is treated with genuine care.

Tending the Leaves of Your Story
A story is like a tree rooted in structure, branching through character, plot, and setting. Each scene is a leaf, and every leaf plays a crucial role. My mission is to help you tend to each part of your manuscript so it grows into a beautiful, compelling book.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
A proven structural method to bring your manuscript to life.
Writing a book is an act of courage. As a certified editor and author, I combine deep structural evaluation with actionable, encouraging advice. Using a proven 38-element framework, I evaluate manuscripts scene-by-scene to help you eliminate plot drag, deepen emotional arcs, and write with complete confidence—always honoring your personal vision.

HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER
My Coaching & Editing Approach
Every story grows at its own pace. I meet you exactly where you are—whether you're holding a single spark of an idea or a finished manuscript that needs structural refining—and help you nurture it with patience, clarity, and care. My role is to be your steady companion: asking the right questions, celebrating your progress, and guiding your story to its fullest potential.
01
Listen Deeply
We begin by looking at your big-picture vision, your goals, and what's holding your manuscript back, using a clear structural method.
02
Nurture Growth
Through scene-by-scene feedback and encouraging guidance, we refine your plot, character arcs, pacing, and tension.
03
Bloom with Confidence
You’ll walk away with a complete revision roadmap, a polished manuscript, and the confidence that your book will captivate readers.
