Some endorsements of Carol’s presentation style:
Lynne Moran, Facilitator,
North Shore ElderCollege Society:
Carol Cram has presented to our group on two occasions, to rave reviews. You can tell Carol was a highly skilled university instructor as her presentations are clear, concise, full of humour and so engaging. I look forward to her next novel and hope she will present to our group again.
Sheila McClelland, Authors in Our Community Program,
West Vancouver Memorial Library:
It was my pleasure to work with Carol when she presented her novel The Towers of Tuscany. Carol is delightful to work with and gave me any information I needed on a timely basis. I attended the presentation she gave and was very impressed. She presented her book very well and gave lots of information for new or aspiring authors.
Cathy Scrimshaw, Past President/Past Library Liaison,
North Shore Writers’ Association:
Carol prepared and presented a 90-minute workshop on The Hero’s Journey to approximately 80 participants. Carol’s workshop was professional and polished, and the reviews were excellent. She also participated in a Local Authors Evening at the North Vancouver City Library, in which she and other local authors read from their works. Again, her reading was very well received. I consider her to be a polished, professional presenter who approaches her work with enthusiasm and expertise.
