Author Information

More than an author and education consultant, Caroline Brewer is a literacy therapist and motivator. She motivates children and teens to read (and write) by dissolving their fears - fear that they will struggle, fail, be humiliated, bored, unable to identify with or understand book characters or themes or write with meaning. She introduces written material and writing opportunities to youth in a highly engaging, strategic, and compassionate way that aids them in conquering anxieties and apathy. Her approach also helps teachers, parents, and tutors gain the skills and confidence to inspire literacy success. Ultimately, children uncover the joy and possibilities of reading and self-expression. Caroline has consulted and presented readings, speeches, and seminars in seven states, D.C., and Ghana, West Africa to 25,000 teachers, children, tutors, parents, and librarians. Caroline has a background as an award-winning journalist and served on two Pulitzer Prize juries. Her work was nominated for The Pulitzer Prize. She is the author of 10 books, mother of two, and lives in Washington, D.C.
