About Me.
Christie Cognevich, PhD
Writer.
I write fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. I am the author of Depression: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2020), Dealing with Stress: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2022), and Introverts: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2024), all published by Rowman & Littlefield.
Scholar.
I love learning. I have a BA and MA in English literature from the University of New Orleans, a PhD in English literature from Louisiana State University, and an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. I work in library services and give literature lectures and writing workshops.
Dreamer.
I live in New Orleans, Louisiana with my two cats named after dead poets. Aside from reading and writing, I enjoy traveling the world taking pictures, playing old video games, researching digital antiquaria, and haunting the library stacks. My biggest unfulfilled dream is to write and design a narrative video game.
