Carol
Brethour Stephens has over twenty years of experience as a professional writer.
A specialist in adult education, she has written in the fields of social
work, sociology and psychology. She
spent six years as a scriptwriter for a series of university-level for-credit
television courses. The documentary
style of these programs afforded her the opportunity to interview nationally
renowned experts in many fields, and question distinguished individuals
including Henry Kissenger.
Since
then, as a freelance writer, she has written for national bridal magazines
giving advice on such topics as how to involve the groom in the wedding, and how
to write your wedding vows. In
addition, she has written articles for many other publications and the script
for a travel documentary that was broadcast on PBS. Carol has worked as a public relations professional and
appeared numerous times on television and in newspapers, and was a guest speaker
at many public functions.
With diverse clients including universities, colleges, museums, hospitals, libraries, corporations and government agencies, Carol has always been drawn to helping and educating people through her writing. She has brought this ability and the broad-based knowledge derived from her experience (not to mention her marriage) to Knowing Me, Knowing You.
