Buffett Book Launch

Warren Buffett-Bill uffet

Bill Buffett and cousin, Warren Buffett, at a signing for a book I edited, Foods You Will Enjoy: the Story of Buffett's Store.

Carol, Bill Buffett

Warren contributed a chapter of the book and helped Bill (above, wih me) plug it at his Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha. Both Warren and Bill worked at the legendary family grocery.

I had a fascinating six-weekresidency in Qatar, where I taught writing to a group of Qatar University students and to the QU library staff. I also taught a day-long writing workshop to a group of ex-pats, living in Qatar. For news about the programs click here and here.

Testimonials

"I have just returned from an incredible week in the South of France with Carol Henderson at the helm of a writers’ workshop. I can’t say enough about it. The accommodations, companionship, scenery, outings, adventures and food, were only outdone by the time spent with Carol discov-ering hidden voices. Writing is no longer a labor, not always inspired, but always a joy. Thank you so much Carol, it was a life changing event for me. I can’t wait to attend the next one."
--Sandra Elliot, Chapel Hill, NC

"My time spent at Carol's writing work-shop in Provence was
a life-changing event. I will always remember it with great joy as one of the best weeks of my life!"
--Kit Stewart, entrepreneur and author, Pittsboro, NC

"In Provence, with Carol and our workshop, I found the peace and content-ment with which to explore my thoughts, as well as the encouragement and support to write and share them. It was also an enor-mously fun time."
–Liza Collins, playwright and screenwriter, Providence, RI

"Carol Henderson's workshop was exactly what I needed to jumpstart my writing... it was a productive and fun week."–Stephanie Silberstein, Writer, Fayetteville, NC

"My goal for the writing residency was to be motivated to get back to my writing of a memoir that deals with my journey from mourning to joy. You provided that motivation and inspiration for doing just that... Thank you for the integrity and vulnerability with which you facilitated our work together."
–Wilson Brent, pastor (ret.) Cary, NC
