If you want to get out of your rut or become a better writer, Carrie is the person you want to have by your side.I received a complimentary copy of the book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

She is the coach, the cheerleader, and the team all in one. I could not more strongly recommend Carrie as a writing coach, because she cares fiercely about your writing, works tirelessly to improve your story, and nurtures you as a writer.

She has an innate sense of the heart of a story and digs into its core as if the writing were her own. She asks meaningful questions, offers clear examples, and supplies diverse resources to provoke the author to transform their stories in ways they may never have otherwise. She celebrates powerful writing with specific feedback on what works and why it works just as often as she advises on revisions to improve the story. She is extremely attentive to character development and plot structure, as well as how those elements resonate with the intended audience and reveal the author’s purpose. She encourages you to push boundaries and explore the soul of your story. She doesn’t try to make you write like anyone else and applauds your uniqueness. Her feedback centers on developing your authentic voice. She tore down walls I didn’t know I had built and gave me the foundation to be a confident writer with direction. She showed me it’s okay (actually, it’s great) to embrace my quirkiness. Carrie inspired my growth as a writer and a person. She invigorated me to write and write better. There were times where I was so frustrated with my novel I felt like quitting, and Carrie pulled me from the bog of eternal revisions and dead-ends into a place of hope. It is a blessing Carrie is willing to share her insights and talents with others, because she is a powerhouse of a coach who pushes you to be the best writer you can be. I hope you’ll check them out!

I’ve been writing since 2007 when I published the award-winning TIPS ON HAVING A GAY (ex) BOYFRIEND. From this page you can check out all of my books.
