"The two most important tools of a great writer are Empathy and Compassion. If you don't practice these, not only will you fail as a writer--you will also fail as a human being."

Writer Reviews:

​

 

"I have been occasionally asked by book lovers to suggest a volume of poetry...I want to make a very special suggestion...I'm always looking for something new--I rarely get it. I can't think of the last time I said 'Yes! This is great! I think others would enjoy this!' Erotic, emotional, I was really impressed, and I hope others are inspired as well."

 

~Susie Bright, author, journalist, editor, feminist, producer and performer, from her podcast, In Bed with Susie Bright, and her review of no apologies.

 

"Goddamnit, J. A. Carter-Winward’s poetry is good. It’s really fucking good. In fact, I’d go as far as to say her poetry is the very best contemporary verse that’s out there. But it’s not for everyone. Nope, it’s definitely not for everyone. And that’s partly what makes it the best out there."

​

~Harry Whitewolf, author, poet, Rhyme and Rebellion, Two Beat Newbie, New Beat Newbie

"J.A. Carter-Winward is one of the best poets working in America today. From her poetry to her prose, J.A.Carter-Winward is one of the toughest, bravest, grittiest writers I've ever read, a word-slinger with enormous strength, wit, and compassion. I can easily see {her novels} being made into acclaimed films. Are you listening Hollywood?"

~Raegan Butcher, poet, author of Rusty String Quartet-Poems, Stone Hotel: Poems from Prison, and the Chupacabra Chronicles.

Are you a Writer?
Do you like to laugh at yourself? CAN you laugh at yourself? Okay, can you laugh at OTHER writers? If not, maybe you need to see the infamous, ficsational, faketastic Dr. Julian Wright(C). If you enjoy a little satire and a wicked sense of self-(or other writers) deprecation, you'll enjoy my good friend, the man who helps writers...right the write way with his Wright Method of Write Righting. Wright On! <--(click there, or on his name, genius.)
