Col. Carla D. Bass, USAF (Ret), authored the book Write to Influence!, now in its second edition and winner of 11 national awards. Writing powerfully was central to her success. For 47 years (30 in the Air Force and 17 with a federal agency), she composed items sent to Congress, the White House, generals, and ambassadors. Her products got readers to sit up, take notice, and deliver desired results.

She now gives highly acclaimed presentations to government agencies, corporations, private businesses, and NGOs. From tips to frame a winning argument to crafting powerful résumés, grant submissions, budget justifications, input to performance reviews ... she covers it all!

Her battle cries are twofold: 1) “Powerful writing changes lives!” and 2) “Powerful writing is the lifeblood of effective organizations!”

Carla’s assignments included: Germany, Bulgaria (as the defense and air attaché), Turkey, Korea, and Washington, D.C.
