Oakdale Library welcomes author C.M. Alongi on Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. as part of WashCoLib's 2025 Write in our Midst author series. Christina Marie Alongi will be discussing her work. There will also be time for questions. 

Author, YouTuber, and overall feminist know-it-all Christina Marie Alongi earned a bachelor’s in history and social justice from Hamline University in 2017. Immediately after graduating, she worked as a community support staff (sort of a personal care assistant plus job coach) for people with disabilities for over two years, including adults with autism, which helped inspire the main character for her debut sci-fi novel Citadel.  

In addition to writing, Alongi runs a YouTube channel (previously called Dragons, Zombies & Aliens, now just called C. M. Alongi) where she discusses writing advice, tropes, and SFF through a feminist lens. 

When she’s not writing, reading, or YouTubing, Alongi enjoys bouldering, knitting, and defending her furniture from her roommate’s evil cat.
