Quotes from others about the person
Allen Cheuse, author and National Public Radio book critic: "Carolyn Doty managed to peer into corners of human behavior that other people overlooked. She had real joie de vivre."
James Houston, novelist: "Carolyn Doty was personally engaged at every level of the writers conference. She always had insightful comments to make and great stories to tell."
Houston about Doty's skill in matching writers to mentors: "It was like choreography - Carolyn Doty was a fiction choreographer. She was very well attuned to what younger writers were trying to do. As a working novelist, she had a lot of heartful involvement with the task of writing, so she understood that very well."
In 1963 Carolyn married William Everett Doty. They had two children: Stuart William and Margaret Elizabeth. In 1977 Carolyn and Bill decided to split up.
