Carolyn Burns Bass is a published author, specializing in travel writing and literary fiction.

She began her career as Carolyn A. Burns while at Orange Coast College during the ‘80s. After an internship with Contemporary Christian Music magazine, she joined the staff and was promoted to assistant editor. She wrote cover stories, personality profiles, record and concert reviews, attended the Grammy Awards and met many pop icons of her generation. But fiction was her first writing love.

She has written food reviews for local publications, articles for specialty journals, and self-published two books: Kalligraphia—the Art of Beautiful Handwriting (a workbook for learning italic calligraphy, now out of print) and Write from the Heart, a guidebook on writing personal memoirs. Both books were written for classes she taught for city adult education departments.

In addition to her personal blog, OVATIONS, Carolyn writes a blog called INLAND TRAVELER for the Riverside Press-Enterprise, as well as a weekly travel feature for the Sunday print edition of the the Press-Enterprise.

Carolyn operates Word*Art Solutions, a creative business communications studio in Southern California. There she designs public relations campaigns; writes publicity blurbs and marketing collateral; designs newsletters, ads and flyers; creates logos, coordinates client meeting registration, and manages databases.
