Carol Weston Email and Phone Number

I've written eight novels, eight nonfiction books. The most recent is SPEED OF LIFE. The New York Times calls it "perceptive, funny and moving." Starred reviews in Kirkus, Booklist, PW and School Library Journal! It's about a 14-year-old girl who writes to an advice columnist -- and has no idea that the columnist has started dating her dad. Other books for kids: AVA AND PIP series (Sourcebooks Jabberwocky) and Diary of Melanie Martin series (Knopf). My advice book GIRLTALK (HarperCollins) came out in a dozen languages and has been in print since 1985. I am represented by Susan Ginsburg of Writers House.I've been the "Dear Carol" advice columnist at Girls' Life Magazine since its first issue in 1994. I've been a guest on Oprah, Today, The View, Montel, CNN Español, Squawk Box, NY1.I've written for national magazines, from Cosmo to Cigar, American Way to American Baby, and was a spokesperson for Cheer, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Puerto Rico Tourism, ZipLoc bags. I taught writing at Middlebury College and teach now at the New York Society Library. I enjoy doing author visits in English -- or Spanish and French when invited to immersion schools. Yes. Languages are my party trick! More at carolweston.com.
