Lyric Montgomery Kinard is an artist, author, and teacher who has spent more than 20 years teaching online. She now guides crafters, quilters, artists, and makers as they show up on screen and use video to build teaching businesses and market their work.

Named Teacher of the Year by the International Association of Professional Quilters, she has helped thousands move from “I think I could teach this” to running workshops that fill.

She is the founder of the Academy for Virtual Teaching, where she works with creatives who want to teach online but feel stuck by tech, video, or not knowing where to start. Her approach is simple: start small, get your first students, and build from there.

On the Creatives on Camera podcast, Lyric focuses on what actually works when using video a creative business - choosing platforms, pricing workshops, creating videos that connect, and turning viewers into students without wasting time or money.
