From Fan Fiction to Novelist with Terry Odell // Self Publishing Insiders // EP026
Posted by: Kevin Tumlinson in D2D Live, D2D Spotlight, Podcast, Self Publishing Insiders Podcast, Video 4 months, 1 week ago
Episode Summary
Terry Odell began writing by mistake, when her son mentioned a television show and she thought she’d be a good mom and watch it so they’d have common ground for discussions. Little did she know she would enter the world of writing, first via fan fiction, then through Internet groups, and finally in groups with real, live partners. Her first publications were short stories, but she found more freedom in longer works and began what she thought was a mystery. Her daughters told her it was a romance so she began learning more about the genre and craft. Now a multi-published, award winning author, Terry resides with her husband and rescue dog in the mountains of Colorado.
