Christina Campbell lives in Northern Virginia with her three cats and an infrared sauna. She writes about invisible illness, singles’ rights, and the inexorable onslaught of entropy. Her book And Sarah His Wife won the Michigan Writers’ Cooperative Press Chapbook Contest in 2017.

After Christina earned her MFA in creative nonfiction from George Mason University, she co-founded the singles’ advocacy blog Onely.org with her MFA classmate and genius rhetorist Lisa Arnold. Pronounced wun-lee, the site deconstructs cultural stereotypes about singlehood, such as the myth that unmarried people die alone, eaten by their cats. Christina’s writing on Onely has been featured, quoted, or referenced in numerous publications, including The Atlantic.com; The Sydney Morning Herald; Boston Magazine; PsychologyToday.com; MSNBC.com; the women’s magazine Viva; the book Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone by Eric Klinenberg; the book Singlism: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Stop It by Bella DePaulo; and the book It’s Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You’re Single, by Sara Eckel. Christina and Lisa are particularly proud of their mention in Rebecca Traister’s book All the Single Ladies, where their names happen to appear on the same page with Anita Hill’s. (Christina and Lisa have no professional or personal link to Hill, but that doesn’t stop them from bragging about this print connection.)

Christina’s nonfiction writing is not limited to singles’ issues. She was a women’s rights columnist for Change.org and has also written for Orion magazine and local newspapers such as The Glen Arbor Sun, in her adopted homeland of beautiful Leelanau County, Michigan.

Because neither Onely nor her MFA have landed Christina a multi-million-dollar book deal, she continues to toil with the rest of the proletariat. Her cushy cubicle-monkey job at a government contracting firm doesn’t exactly fuel her right brain, but it keeps her cats well fed, and theoretically less likely to eat her.
