Here’s What They’re Saying…

 

Regarding Carolyn. Wall's upcoming novel, Sweeping Up Glass:
 
"Haunting, lyrical, entirely absorbing, SWEEPING UP GLASS deserves a place on the shelf next to classics like TRUE GRIT and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.  Carolyn Wall is a brilliant storyteller and this is a wonderful read.
 
Martha Beck, PhD
Columnist for O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE
and national bestselling author of STEERING BY MOONLIGHT
and EXPECTING ADAM

 

"Carolyn Wall is the most inspiring and creative new writer of the twenty-first century. She has received numerous awards for her work and is recognized throughout the Southwestern United States as our most rapidly rising literary star."

Hiram Keith Myers, Author,
Edmond, OK

 

“Thank you for speaking at the January meeting of our Panhandle Professional Writers in Amarillo. A large crowd loved your workshop. You’re a lively, intelligent person, and you put over your information in a delightful way. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Diane Neal, President, PPW,
Amarillo, TX

 

“Carolyn Wall is more alchemist than writer, for page after page, book after book she spins words into golden images that never quite leave my thoughts or my heart."

Gaylene Murphy, film writer & director
Edmond, OK

 

"Your Saturday workshop was truly inspirational. The new person who sat next to me felt that God had brought her to your meeting."

Bette Ward Widney,

Many times I’ve said, “I’ve learned more from you in one class than I ever did with any one else and in any academic course.” I know I can always read your lessons, still I lament that classes are ending. I hope I can take another course at some point because even if you taught ‘Cleaning out Toilets 101” I’d take it, just for the experience – and for the satisfaction of knowing you’d somehow make me a better writer for it.

Deer Mrs. Wall: I hope you had a good time with us. We had a good one with you. My favorite activity was all of it.

"Carolyn reminded me that I had more skills than just changing diapers. She gave me hope, reassured me that motherhood didn’t mean the death of my writing talent. Carolyn threw me a lifeline, affirming me when my whole life was in chaos, and I’ll always be grateful."

Maria Veres, Writer,
OKC, OK

 

Thank you so much for the meditation writing you did with the faculty this morning ~ I’d had a very stressful morning and really needed to allow myself to be “in the moment.” God works wonders with meeting our needs. The fabulous way you conveyed your topic will be extremely beneficial with my 5 th graders.

As fiction editor for ByLine, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us. We received your comments on our story: “Escaping from the Indian Quagmire.” They were great. You showed us how to tighten and get rid of the dead word. We are working hard and finding some selling success. All due to you – our guru. Thanks.

Raghbar and Doris Dhillon

 

Dear Mrs. Wall: Thank you for helping us be better writers. My favorite activity was dreaming so stories could wake up. My brother is in 6 th grade. He says thank you for letting his class write a Students Bill of Rights.
