“I wasn’t sure what a book coach was, but I was close to ’finishing’ my manuscript and simultaneously completely confounded. Today I’m ready to look at publishers. Carol Teal as my book coach provided me the guidance, information and tools I didn’t know existed or needed. I wouldn’t have finished without her coaching.”

“This was a life-changing experience. Carol leads a group with just the right amount of structure. The writing prompts and sharing give one a glimpse into how others perceive their lives. We see how much we have in common- very supportive. It’s thought provoking and helps one decide how to write one’s own story.” John E.
“Carol is a very skilled and compassionate facilitator of the AWA method; and I have been writing with her for over a year. Her group sessions have provided me with a well spring of inspiration and a safe sharing space. She is resourceful at finding and designed a wide range of writing prompts that take into account the interests and aspirations of her group members. She begins her writing sessions with a short, guided, meditation that I have come to rely upon as it is an excellent way to calm, and open one’s mind before picking up a pen. Carol is a builder of writing communities. And this is a tremendously valuable gift for any writer; because we can’t do it all alone.” Anne S.
“Carol Teal’s virtual creative writing group has been the highlight of my life during this challenging time. Our weekly meetings offer imaginative stimulation and a warm, supportive venue for discussing our work. Carol is a wonderful Muse.” Marilyn Skinner
