Agent: Sian Ellis-Martin
Biography: Cristina Wolf wrote her first book in the third grade. It was an adventure book about her beagle, Abby, complete with hand-drawn illustrations and top-notch handwriting. Needless to say, writing and reading has been a passion of Cristina’s from the beginning. After graduating from Marist College with a double major in Business and English, Cristina pursued a career in the publishing industry while earning her Master of Science in Publishing from New York University. Cristina has experience working at literary agencies and as an editorial assistant at a publishing house. Finding life in NYC a bit different than she expected, Cristina returned to her native New Jersey where she earned her Master in Teaching from Monmouth University. She now shares her love of books with her students as a middle school English teacher.
Other than working or writing, Cristina loves spending time with her dogs, Zoey and Winnie, exercising on her Peloton, laying on her hammock with a good book, and planning her next trip to Disney World.
Head of Zeus published Cristina’s debut, HOW TO WRITE A ROM-COM, in May 2025. Her next book will be published in July 2026.

THE ONE WHERE THEY FALL IN LOVE
Rom-Com, 288 pages, Aria, August 2026
Hopeless romantic and romance editor Elle Thompson lives for happy endings – but real-life love? Not so much. Still, she's totally thrilled when her best friend gets engaged. Really. Not jealous at all.
Meanwhile, Oliver Cole likes things a certain way. Schedules and routines and order. So when his move back to New York is disrupted by the addition of Thor – the dog his sister adopted before moving to Italy – he's less than delighted. Even less enthused? His neighbour, Elle.
When Elle can't bear to hear Thor howling all night, she and Oliver strike a deal: she'll dog-sit during his shifts. But their reluctant arrangement soon leads to late-night chats, undeniable chemistry, and two guarded hearts learning to open up. Could Elle and Oliver finally get their own happily ever after?
HOW TO WRITE A ROM-COM
Rom-Com, 288 pages, Aria, May 2025
Lucy Bowen has had enough of romance. After multiple failed relationships and an extreme lack of Prince Charmings, she's given up on the idea altogether. except she can't really do that because she works for NYC's biggest romance publisher, Heartwarming, and she's desperate for a promotion.
When Heartwarming's bestselling author Ruby Jones threatens to leave due to dwindling sales, and a lack of inspiration, Lucy's boss, Anne, must act fast. To show Heartwarming's commitment (and maybe interfere with her romance-burnt-out assistant's life just a little bit), she sends Lucy on a research trip to a tiny lakeside town.
Lucy's task: come up with a new romance novel for Ruby to write.
It's not long before Lucy realises that her secret mission to get close to the locals might not be as easy as she thought - especially when she meets her neighbour and local restaurant owner, Liam who, amongst other vaguely annoying traits, is extremely sceptical of city people.
But before she can say cliché, Lucy finds herself living an actual small-town romance, complete with a quirky cast of characters and some undeniable chemistry between her and the town hunk.
