Stop spiraling. Start writing.
I’m Christina Larocco, a writer and nonfiction strategist who helps research-driven writers contain their information, claim their authority, and finally bring their story to the page.
Why Writers Get Stuck
Ambitious nonfiction writers often find themselves drowning in research. You’ve read the books, scanned family photos, conducted interviews, deciphered impossible handwriting — and yet your project feels shapeless.
The solution isn’t more information. It’s knowing how to step out of the spiral and actually write.
The Mosaic: A Framework That Works
That’s why I developed the Mosaic, my signature framework for research-heavy nonfiction.
Through intentional strategy and exploratory writing, the Mosaic helps you
• Contain your research
• Build scaffolding for your book
• Find the narrative throughline
• Write with clarity and confidence
What Writers Say
“Christina has to my mind an unerring editorial and historical sensibility. I give her the highest recommendation.”
—Norman E. Donoghue II, writer and historian
“EVERYTHING changed when I began coaching with Christina! After just a few weeks, my ideas finally became a reality. Now, I am working toward my goal of sending out book proposals to publishers, and I am absolutely convinced this never would have happened without her!”
—Liz Freedman, writer and book coach
