About Carolyn, in her own words: ‘I love to explore, observe, write, and photograph the wonders of planet Earth, then return to speak to inspire adults and children to explore this amazing world. I love to invent inspiring educational presentations and seminars for corporations, universities, and educators and students in creativity, writing, speaking, exploring, living fully enthusiastically, alive on the planet… I have been working with an organization called Cooperating School Districts of St. Louis.
They offer and arrange videoconferences for my custom designed, interactive hands-on writing seminars and author visits with classrooms of students. CSD also arranges all my videoconferences of nonfiction writing and public speaking seminars for educational or corporate institutions, in a professional development format, “on-screen.” ‘
Teachers, how did your sessions go?

Carolyn is not only an outstanding teacher, she’s an avid learner. Each year she teaches a different lesson with my class, and all of the lessons have been informative, beneficial and fun. My students have sent her their poems and plays, and she has responded with wonderful, personalized feedback. It’s always a joy to work with her!
