AWAI Wall of Fame

Carole Johnson
Age: 53   What is your current occupation? Travel agent   What are you studying at AWAI (travel writing, photography, import/export, or all three)? Travel writing   What was your first successful article or photo about and where did it appear? My actual success was writing a children's book. My course with AWAI (working throught the exercises) gave me the confidence to pursue having a book published. I worked on travel articles, but ended up with a children's book being published with PublishAmerica. It does have some travel themes within the book though. (Pennie the Piglet by Carole Lehr Johnson)
What are you working on now?
A sequel to the book I had published.
What has been your proudest writing, photography, or import/export moment?
My book being published.
Please give us an example of how your life has changed since becoming a travel writer, photographer, or import-exporter.
People seem to pay more attention to what I have to say.
What success tip would you like to share with your fellow AWAI members?
NEVER give up!
When did you realize you were living the writer’s or photographer’s life?
When my book was for sale on Barnes and Noble, online!
