Christine Higdon: 'I think I shocked my high school teachers'

10/15/2015

Christine Higdon is a graphic designer, editor, and writer. Originally from British Columbia, she has lived in Toronto, Ottawa, and rural Nova Scotia. She was on the editorial collective of Fireweed, A Feminist Quarterly for a decade. Christine co-packaged the humourous book Zodicat Speaks – Discover Your Cat’s Astrological Signature with A.S.A. Harrison for Viking Penguin in New York. When she is not designing, editing, reading, or writing at her home in Toronto, Christine hooks rugs, worries about the bees, and longs for the ocean. She can be contacted through Hilary McMahon at Westwood Creative Artists.

Earlier this fall, Christine spoke with me about her novel Lulu's Island.
