“As a coach, Carol's got just the right touch. She knows just when to ride herd, when to back off, when to applaud, when to suggest alternatives, and always with a spirit of appreciation,
humor, empathy, and joy. Two things are certain: She'll get you writing, and she'll keep you writing."
–Liz Dowling-Sendor, Episcopal priest, Chapel Hill NC
"Carol is not only my coach, but also editor – and more important, Carol has inspired me to believe in myself. She has encouraged words and stories out of me I had long since forgotten. Her intuitive ability to know when to probe and when to be silent is a gift. Carol is a genius and helped me unlock the treasure of a gift I didn’t even know that I had"
–Mary Sullivan, Life Design Studio, Bremer, AL
"How I work with you"
I use a combination of methods to help you find the most effective voice for your work, and to unearth "raw materials" from within your own creative imagination.
I might offer you prompts to use on your own, or other suggestions to help you get to the desk, tackle a rewrite, or start a new piece. For long distance clients, I find a combination of phone, email, and Instant Messenger can help accomplish our objectives just as effectively as meeting “live.”
Try It Out
Sometimes people need a sample hour of my approach to see if it seems like a good fit. I’m comfortable with that. So we can both get a sense of how long the editing process will take, I suggest you try me on a short sample excerpt. For the cost of one hour, you get a thoroughly marked manuscript (5 pages max) and a summary letter, suggesting how I see the broader issues of your work and where you might take it.
