Christina Blake

Christina Blake is a young author, published at seventeen-years-old. Her debut novel, Sapphire and Planet Zero, is about a sixteen-year-old girl who saves the world from annihilation by a dark force. Christina found her passion as a novelist at twelve years old, when she began writing Sapphire and Planet Zero. Since publication, she has spent her time delivering speeches in which she discusses the journey to her book’s release at conferences such as the Annual Massachusetts Association of Gifted Education Conference and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Conference, which was featured on Access Framingham News. Christina discussed her journey to publication in an interview with Access Framingham, as well. Christina has recently been accepted into Stony Brook Southampton’s Children’s Literature Fellows Program, which is a graduate level writing program for aspiring writers who spend one year under mentorship writing a publishable manuscript. Christina plans to use this program for guidance to publish her new book. Christina is currently pursuing a degree at Stony Brook University where she is majoring in Health Science and minoring in Creative Writing. Of course, when she is ready to relax and recharge, Christina also enjoys the serene moments of a day, spent watching a feel-good movie.
