I’ve always been fascinated with words. These various accumulations of letters hold so much power, and influence everyone in countless ways. Books were my close companions when I was little. In high school, I wrote for and then edited the school paper. I worked my way through college proofreading books for a law publisher, and preparing a music teacher’s manuscript for publication. As a history major, and later as a music conservatory student, I sensed that some of my best work involved the integrating of information and nuance into new written work.

After college I moved from the Midwest to New York City and worked my way into arts management. From there, it became possible to start a fine arts consulting business that I ran for many years, where I managed private collections of art. Writing was often at the heart of this work, when my words could bring three or four different parties with divergent interests to an agreement. Writing these agreements required listening carefully, working purposefully, and drafting precisely.

On the side, I went back to school to study music. Raised in a musical family, I wanted to learn more about the language and theory of music. I began writing music, paying close attention to lyrics.

A few years into running my own business, I put myself through law school because those agreements I was drafting kept passing muster with the legal experts. I considered for the first time the possibility that I could become one of them. In my third year at NYU Law, I won an ASCAP Nathan Burkan award for a paper on the uneasy fit between copyright law and minimal and conceptual art. An edited version of that paper was published in ArtForum magazine, and I began to write for publication. Then, at the dawn of the dot-com era, I edited an online magazine addressing issues at the intersection of arts and technology. Our small staff was distributed across the country, and our contributing writers sent in their work from around the globe. I understood the possibilities of the internet to sustain collaboration and co-creation, for staff and readership alike.

Moving to Charlottesville, VA in mid-life, I considered my next professional steps. I noticed that the best aspects of my working life all involved the power of words – to reveal, to influence, to engage, to entertain, to advocate, to connect, to empower, to improve lives. Starting in 2012, I committed to working with writers – providing coaching and editing services that give their words more potency and polish. I enjoy this work immensely, and am grateful for the life experiences that prepared me for it. Combined with my own work as a writer of nonfiction, I live my life surrounded by words.

A M (Anne) Carley, creator of the FLOAT CARDS FOR WRITERS (Chenille Books 2017) and author of FLOAT • BECOMING UNSTUCK FOR WRITERS (Be Well Here 2016), knows both sides of the ‘becoming unstuck’ experience: as a writer and as a coach who guides authors toward developing, completing, and polishing their writing projects.

The FLOAT Cards offer thought-provoking, bite-sized sources of inspiration - and intervention - to get the creative juices flowing again for writers and other creatives. The card deck with accompanying online guide collects 52 ways you can revitalize your creative practice.

In FLOAT • BECOMING UNSTUCK FOR WRITERS, Anne has curated best practices for overcoming challenges in writing, and arranged her observations and insights into the framework she calls the FLOAT Approach. Useful as a quick fix, or as a longer practice in writerly awareness, the book begins with this epigraph: Becoming Unstuck: Trust yourself. Use simple tools. Honor your wisdom. Connect with the clan of writers. Find your strength.

BIOGRAPHY

A M (Anne) Carley coaches authors to become unstuck, complete, and polish their narrative nonfiction, memoir, investigative, instructional, and other nonfiction manuscripts. Anne also guides writers along the journey from final manuscript to independently published book. From her office in Charlottesville, Virginia, Anne works with regional authors and, via phone and web, with writers everywhere. Her writer’s handbook, FLOAT: Becoming Unstuck for Writers, and the FLOAT Cards for Writers deck share her helpful approach with writers and creative people worldwide. Visit chenillebooks.com to learn more about how she works with writers.

Anne is a published essayist on topics in the arts, public policy, intellectual property, and arts education for publications from ArtForum to Estate Planning magazine, and contributed an essay to the bestselling 2017 book, #MeToo: Essays About How and Why This Happened, What It Means and How to Make Sure it Never Happens Again.

Always an enthusiastic reader, as a young adult Anne fell in love with hot lead, publishing, and writing when she edited her high school newspaper. In college, she instigated Dial a Bedtime Story, a low-tech effort to calm down distressed fellow students by reading them her original stories over the phone.

Her success as an independent arts consultant in New York City derived from her ability to craft agreements among artists, collectors, and arts institutions. She studied law at NYU in order to do this more thoroughly.

During law school, an article based on her research on conceptual and minimal art appeared in ArtForum magazine, which led to more speaking and writing opportunities on topics in the arts, law, and technology. She edited a pioneering web-based arts, education, and technology magazine, The Arts4All Newsletter, for five years starting in 1999.

After moving from New York to Charlottesville, Virginia, Anne established Chenille Books, where she provides creative coaching and develops books with nonfiction authors. Turning to creative nonfiction and fiction, she co-founded a local writer group.

She has recently appeared on panels at the Virginia Festival of the Book, the Virginia Writers Club Annual Symposium, and the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library. She is grateful to have been a Fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA) as a writer (2016) and composer (2008 and 2012). The FLOAT book was completed there. She presents workshops for writers throughout Central Virginia.
