Charlotte Rains Dixon on Coaching Writers – The Writing Coach Podcast 010

Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors that help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.

In episode 10 of The Writing Coach, I speak with writing coach Charlotte Rains Dixon.

Charlotte is a novelist, freelance journalist, blogger, ghostwriter, fiction and non-fiction author, and writing coach. She earned her MFA in creative writing from Spalding University and is a current mentor at the Writer’s Loft, a certificate writing program at Middle Tennessee State University. Her popular blog contains over a thousand articles on writing, creativity, inspiration, motivation, and the writer’s life.

During the interview, Charlotte describes:

  • how she’s been blogging about writing for almost 8 years;
  • why a writing career that started in freelance journalism led to fiction writing;
  • the roles writing groups and mentors played in her development as an author;
  • why the world would be a better place if everyone let their creative spirits out;
  • how her life coaching certification has helped her as a writing coach;
  • and much more!
