Let go of thinking writing is always cozy. That’s only 1 stage. The art of good writing must include vulnerability. It’s all about your growth.

What’s the 1 thing preventing you from saying (convincingly!), “I’m a writer,”?

Carrie shares how it all happened for her in one week & with one decision.

Plus, if you want to publish, Carrie talks about everything that shifted to get her there.

I now feel I am living the life I was meant to live.

I remembered the dream and it is coming back to myself.

When a book burns inside of you it must come out.

-Carrie

Hi friends,

I don’t think there’s anything cooler than books. And being a writer.

I’m an old school bibliophile. There’s nothing I enjoy more than reading books, talking about books and writing books. I secretly believe I am the recent incarnation from the Library of Alexandria because I’ve got a sacred duty ingrained in me to collect the best books in the world. My personal bookshelf is a collection of what I believe is the most important knowledge we’ve put together in book form so far whether it comes in fiction (The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, Gilgamesh and The Dune series) or herbal remedies, neurolinguistic programming, love spells, Buddhist philosophy, Sufi poetry, or Wayne Dyer/ Louise Hay.
I’m not into digital or audio books- I want hard copies I can hold in my hand. I’m ready for everything to go off line although I hope it never does.

I’ve been a writer since I made my first book in kindergarten about a witch and her cats (two topics that still fascinate me) and have since taught creative writing and copywriting (what a combo!) in the outdoors in rural Argentina, to polo players and tennis pros in S. Florida, and to online coaches writing the ads (and full length books) that get their message out there and change lives around the world.

Darlene Turriff and I started The Authors Collaborative a few years ago to turn the lonely art of writing and self-publishing a book into a cooperative activity with all the inspiration, guidance, and friendship we writers need to stay motivated and write amazing books we’re proud of.

I am an internationally bestselling award winning author of 7 books, ghostwriter, copy editor and co-founder of the Authors Collaborative writer’s community.

I love helping coaches, speakers and thought leaders take it up a notch energetically & financially by writing a book. I have helped over 100 coaches write a professional book and I can help you too.

I have cracked the code on the creative process so that you can successfully create the impact you always wanted.
The secret is to just get started.

For now, let’s talk about writing the books that change the world.
