Award-winning author Carole Boston Weatherford
With 50-plus books, scores of literary honors and decades of editorial, public relations and teaching experience, I mentor aspiring and emerging authors. I have shared my expertise through conferences, workshops, retreats and initiatives such as We Need Diverse Books. I even tested the waters as a literary agent. My mentees have landed contracts and won awards.
I am now offering services as a book doctor and creative coach. I specialize in picture books, biographies, nonfiction and poetry. I offer book doctoring to re-envision manuscripts and coaching to advance literary goals. I am especially interested in diverse books and Own Voices projects.
I sometimes host private workshops in North Carolina and Maryland. Watch this space for announcements.
