Carol Weis, who became a writer when she got sober, has been an actor, teacher, professional
cook and baker, to name a few things she’s done. Her writing has appeared in the New York
Times, Washington Post, AARP, Independent, Good Housekeeping, Salon, The Fix, ESPN,
Ravishly, and numerous other venues, and has been read as commentary on NPR. She’s the
author of the memoir, STUMBLING HOME: Life Before and After That Last Drink, published
by Heliotrope Books, the Simon & Schuster picture book, When the Cows Got Loose, and the
poetry chapbook, Divorce Papers, which led her to develop a writer-in-residence program called
“Poems Have Feelings, Too!” She’s also working on a memoir with her daughter, about their
struggles as a sober single mom and teen.
Carol is a Jersey girl who now lives in Massachusetts. She’s been sober for 32 years. When she's
not writing, you can find her pedaling down the rail trail or strolling around taking photos of
things that catch her eye. You can follow Carol on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
